AWB has increased the forecast Estimated Pool Returns (EPRs) for the 2007/08 National Pool for APW by $5 a tonne to a range of $255 - $265 per tonne (FOB GST exclusive) and APDR durum by $5 a tonne to a range of $255 - $265 per tonne (FOB GST exclusive).
The 2005/06 and 2006/07 National Pools EPRs remain unchanged.
The benchmark APW grade 2005/06 EPR remains at $192 per tonne (FOB GST exclusive) and durum grade APDR at $235.50 per tonne (FOB GST exclusive).
The 2006/07 APW EPR remains at $234.50 (FOB GST exclusive) per tonne and durum grade APDR is $258 per tonne (FOB GST exclusive).
General Manager National Pool, David Johnson, said the increase in the 2007/08 forecast EPRs was supported by continuing strong world wheat cash prices.
“The ongoing strength of world wheat cash prices is primarily driven by further delays in the US Hard Red Winter wheat harvest,” Mr Johnson said.
“The appreciation of the Australian dollar continues to partially offset the rise in world wheat cash prices for the 2007/08 National Pool EPRs.
“The 2005/06 and 2006/07 National Pools remain well advanced in their price programs and thus are less susceptible to international price movements.”
AWB National Pool will make further financial distributions to Australian wheat growers who participated in the 2005/06 and 2006/07 National Pools in July 2007.
As previously stated, the 2005/06 National Pool was extended and AWB will make a sixth distribution in the week commencing 16th July 2007. This distribution will ensure that the majority of 2005/06 EPRs will be paid out to Pool participants.
In addition, AWB will make the second distribution of the 2006/07 National Pool in the week commencing 2nd July 2007.
The next Pool update is scheduled for Monday 9th July.
