Old-crop oilseed rape prices fell by a further £15/t in the week to Wednesday 26 January, in thin trading, with very little stock left unsold on farm.
Nervous markets were focused on both global and domestic politics, according to traders.
Old-crop spot values were anywhere from £547/t to £582/t ex-farm, depending on region, with the lower end of the scale mainly in the far North East and Scotland.
New-crop suffered less of a fall, said grower co-op United Oilseeds, drifting only slightly lower to put harvest prices at about £485/t ex-farm midweek, for loads within 100 miles of a crushing plant
