Same reason why local brewers don't get local barley malted shipping costs are horrendous by the time the wheat was shipped across it would be too expensive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would shipping costs impact local brewers getting local barley malted? Do you mean sending barley across for malting then back? It also strikes me that if we have a 2 year stock of wheat isn't it better to get it sold across even if the shipping costs wipe some of the profit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can not malt barley on the Island as there is not a Malting plant, so has to be shipped to the UK. As for local wheat it is already more expensive than UK wheat, add on shipping costs who would want to buy it, so waste of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for local wheat it is already more expensive than UK wheat, add on shipping costs who would want to buy it, so waste of time Thanks for your explanation re malting. Re wheat, surely it is a simple market decision? You have a huge stock likely to waste. What do you do? You would sell it, surely, at the market rate even if that was below your cost because you would recoup a portion of the cost which, if the stock spoils, you will never recover. You would also reduce your future purchase price to reflect the price in the market you are selling to. If there is no market here, why is a higher price than the market that is available will stand being paid to suppliers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 He's prob referring to the objection to the Bar extension, tho I think that was a citizen. RTC do object to developments in Leyzaire!!! Which would still help Ramsey business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure they objected to that as they wanted to move the boundaries to trouser the rates from it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And RTC don’t object to anything and everything - only things that haven’t gone through due process - as is their duty. do keep up at the back 007, it was suggested a few posts back to move it to Ramsey... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 If they can find a way to do it, give it to the countries struggling for grain now. If we don't need it, shame not to??? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopek Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 World grain shortages, Russian invasion of Ukraine ! You have heard of these things, haven't you. Market continuance or Humanitarian aid? Which would you chose??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
