3. Malt markets and prices.
Brazil is reported to have purchased part or all of its 2003 plus some 2004 needs, prices paid in Europe were about EUR 270,- for 2rS malt and EUR 240,-/250,- for 6rW malt, FOB Antwerp, in bulk, cad.
Market mood in all grains, maybe specifically in malting barley and in malt is very bad, as a surplus is seen everywhere. One has to be careful, neither the barley crops in America and Australia look good, nor the overall grain crops in North America, Argentina, China and the Balkans.
