Tom Welham, Sales Director for Marsdens Game Feeds explains how the invasion of Ukraine and other factors are impacting the price of game feed in the UK.
It can be difficult to compute how events happening around other parts of the globe can impact the price of a bag of game feed. But that’s the reality of how current events in Ukraine and Russia are effecting the UK game market.
Game feed diets are formulated using a variety of raw materials including wheat, soya, sunflower, barley which are procured from the global market throughout the year. Feed suppliers, just like other businesses operating in global markets, make decisions on an hourly, daily, weekly basis about the best time to buy, in this case raw materials, to achieve maximum value for the customer and ensure end products remain competitive in the market.
