65c US...........that would be............USD 1430/tonne.....ex works. 
Followed by various incredulous remarks

This weeks offers from Bremen Germany from a main broker. (Heinz Gruber, 
brokers for many of the biggest packers.)

Canadian polyflora, white, max 25mm  USD 1920 CFR

Chinese white, max 34mm         USD 1395/tonne      CIF ! March 
shipment.

So claiming the Chinese will not sell at these levels is clearly wrong. 
Thats 63.4c DELIVERED to Europe!

For April May shipment they have Chinese white, max 25mm.........USD 
1275/tonne................57.95 cents...delivered

No price for Argentine this week, but they have been sending out 
internally generated warnings on crop level for some time, but the 
concensus in the European traders is that the picture in Argentina is 
very mixed, and they have been talking down their harvest to stem a 
crash in prices, which fell by 200 dollars a tonne in December alone.

On 14th Feb Argentine white, max 34mm was USD 1410 FOB......so sea 
freight to add.

Current cheapest is Vietnamese at USD 1250/ tonne


Within Europe there are offerings at the following lowest rates

Czech polyflora/ rape (canola) USD 2150...free delivered to buyers 
warehouse

Romanian white polyflora  USD 1985..free delivered to buyers warehouse


I get these sheets of offerings once or twice every 
week.................so a purchase at 65cUS ex farm in Canada? Entirely 
possible given the rates quoted.
