Buyers for China were dominant, with support from buyers for Europe, India and Korea.

Sales will be in recess next week and resume in the week commencing 8 April (Week 41), when 51,327 bales are currently rostered for sale in Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.  The present estimate for the following sale (Week 42) is 45,706 bales; a decrease of 17.8% over the two sale period when compared with last year.

The year-on-year change is showing a false high value because of the Easter break in Week 41 last year.
