An interim report by an expert panel led by former Chief Scientist Cathy Foley finds that atmospheric measurement using satellites, aircraft and drones could improve Australia's fugitive methane estimates.

Disrupted Black Sea logistics could reduce sunflower meal deliveries to China, where Ukraine is the largest supplier, and push feed mills toward rapeseed meal, UkrAgroConsult reported. The soybean meal to rapeseed meal futures spread in China reached 1,091 yuan per tonne on 15 September against a five-year average near 600 yuan per tonne. Resumed Canadian rapeseed and rapeseed meal flows are seen as the main brake on further price gains.
