WHAT WE DO
Grain Price Monitoring
Jumbuk offers clients data sets of prices for grains, oilseeds and pulses delivered to the capital city markets of Australia or cash grains delivered to major Australian ports. Prices have been monitored weekly for over 28 years.
The weekly feedgrain prices have been obtained from end users active in the market each week and are a genuine record of prompt delivery prices during the period.
Also available are weekly contract prices for grains, pulses and canola delivered to Australian ports. These prices represent prompt and forward delivery cash prices paid by major traders.
Hay Forecasting
Using a statistical and scientific approach and an extensive network in the fodder industry, Jumbuk offers clients regular forecasts of hay and silage production. Reports update clients on the production of pasture, cereal (oaten), lucerne, silage and other crops expected in each of the regions nationally.
As a commodity with typically over 7 million tonnes of production worth over 2 billion dollars, hay, straw and silage underpins Australia’s livestock and export hay industries.
Businesses in the fodder industry need access to timely and credible production forecasts. Given the volatility in Australian agriculture, these forward estimates help manage the risks in agribusiness.
Straw to Bio-energy
Jumbuk has extensive experience in feedstock supply logistics and has well established networks in the Australian straw supply chain. Jumbuk provides services to key infrastructure companies considering investing in bio energy plants.
Stubble retention can provide protection from soil erosion, better water infiltration, reduced evaporation and nutrient retention. However stubble retention also creates difficulties, particularly managing organic material during cultivation, increased populations of mice and slugs and the retention of weed seeds. In the high rainfall zones these problems are exacerbated. Regularly farmers burn their heavy stubbles, creating environmental problems for the industry and depleting the soil of nutrients.
