How the price reaches you
From a Chicago futures pit to your silo.
The headline number isn't your cash price. Here's the chain that turns a global futures quote into the cheque you actually bank.
Global futures
CBOT wheat and ICE canola set the world benchmark, quoted in US cents per bushel or CAD per tonne.
Converted to AUD/t
We apply the live exchange rate and contract conversion to express every quote in Australian dollars per tonne.
Plus local basis
Your port and harvest timing add or subtract a basis (roughly −$20 to +$30/t) to reach the real cash price.
