Global agribusiness Nidera has introduced a buy-back contract for the Group 3 wheat variety Torch for the UK market and export to Spain.
British uks Group 3 wheats such as Torch, which is the fourth largest yielding variety on the Recommended List, had seen a strong demand from millers both locally and on the continent, said RAGT managing director Simon Howell.
Nidera is looking for a specification of 74kg/hl, 10.7% protein and a Hagberg falling number of 225, along with a standard 15% moisture content and 2% ad mixture.
“Our strong relationships with European customers plus excellent distribution channels means we have been successful in matching UK farmers’ crops with the needs of overseas buyers. Certainly Torch has captured the imagination of many buyers in the Iberian Peninsula as well as at home,” said Russell Frost, seed manager at Nidera UK.
