Marketing for the Angus Monitor Farm: webinar

The next Angus Monitor Farm meeting is a webinar session on Monday 11 March, at 6pm. It will focus on what the domestic and international markets hold for both grain and livestock.

Stuart Ashworth from Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) will cover the red meat market, looking at where Scottish produce is exported around the globe and discuss the main market drivers for price and demand. He will also share his thoughts on how Brexit will effect Scottish red meat production and the business challenges facing the Scottish beef and sheep sectors.

The UK and world grain markets will be covered by Julian Bell from SAC Consulting. His focus will be on the supply and demand of cereals and oil seeds domestically as well as outlining the UK’s place in the world market. Growers can expect to hear about grain harvests across the world, current stock levels and the potential for greater spring barley demand in Scotland thanks to new distilleries opening.

Project facilitator Zach Reilly explains: “The community group made it clear that they wanted to better understand the market drivers for both red meat and cereals so it’s great to have two experts on hand to take them through all the ins and outs."

Mill of Inverarity is part of the Monitor Farm Scotland initiative, managed by Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) and AHDB Cereals & Oilseeds with funding from the Scottish Government. The aim of the Monitor Farm programme is to help improve the productivity, profitability and sustainability of Scottish farm businesses.
