LATEST CONSIGNMENT OF OSR LEAVES GRIMSBY DOCKS

Jonathan Lane, Gleadell oilseed rape trader, and the MV Pride, pictured at Grimsby docks, with growers’ latest consignment of 2,625mt of oilseed rape.

Gleadell have been shipping similar loads directly to the European mainland since the beginning of the harvest period, with deliveries set to continue throughout November.

“The ships are transporting the crop predominantly to crushing mills in Holland, Belgium and Germany, where it is used in the production of biodiesel” says
Mr. Lane.

“It is continental biodiesel-led demand that has brought about the differential in prices that has enabled us to export. Shipping direct gives our growers an advantage in shorter haulage costs, and opens up access to more markets throughout Europe.”
