High Market Demand Fuels £600/t Spring Linseed Contract for 2026

Premium Crops has launched a £600/t spring linseed contract for the 2026 harvest, responding to strong demand across food, feed, and industrial markets.

Farmers Weekly reports that this surge is driven by the growing need for healthy oils, with linseed being the highest omega-3 oilseed available.

This makes British linseed a uniquely strong choice for premium nutrition and feed sectors. The contract offers:
✅ Secure fixed price
✅ Produce-of-an-area basis – no risk of default
✅ Top-performing variety: Nulin50, leading for oil content and omega-3 profile

With improved agronomy support and a robust market outlook, spring linseed is emerging as a profitable, low-risk break crop for UK growers.
