How They Work
- Members intake is pooled, blended and sorted into homogenised bulks and sold on premium contracts by our marketing partners.*
- There are 3 main pools with different marketing periods as shown below. New members joining before Harvest 2025 would now join the ‘Late Pool’ for Harvest 2026.
- Whilst final payment date is 3rd August 2026 members can take advances at any time, once crop has come in to store, within some parameters. The Winter Pool pays out earlier on 2nd March 2026 but won’t have access to the carry often available with movements later in the season.
*There are exceptions for Feed Wheat/Feed Barley/Beans and OSR where we allow member to direct market crop as an alternative to allocating to the Camgrain pools
Direct Market / DES
Direct Market Option
For Feed Wheat, Feed Barley, Feed Beans, and Oilseed Rape (OSR), Camgrain members have the option to direct market their crop, giving them control over the timing of their sales. Sales will be made through direct negotiation with our marketing partners:
- Frontier for Wheat, Barley, and OSR
- Robin Appel Ltd for Beans
The Direct Market Fee has been reduced from £6.50 per ton to £3.50 per ton for harvest 2025. This fee contributes to the ongoing repair and maintenance of our sites, ensuring they remain in top condition year after year.
DES (Direct Exchange Sale) for Feed Wheat
For 2025, Camgrain is launching a NEW initiative that leverages our position as a registered grain store on the ICE Futures UK Wheat Exchange. Members can choose when to execute their trades, either on the November 2025 or May 2026 contracts.
- No additional charge for selling the November contract.
- £3.50 per ton charge for selling the May 2026 contract, which also contributes to site repair and maintenance.
