CWB issued its first Pool Return Outlooks for the coming crop year and update the PROs for the 2012-13 Harvest and Winter Pools and the Futures Choice Winter Pool March 15.
PROs for 2013-14 are down from the current year, reflecting the expectation of bigger world grain crops and a lessening of the tightness experienced in the last year.
The slide in grain prices since December is also reflected in the PROs for 2012-13.
The following applies to the 2012-13 PROs.
For wheat, PRO for the Harvest Pool is down $25 per tonne from the last update in January.
