United Oilseeds was founded 48 years ago and are the only specialist oilseeds merchant in the UK, specialising in the sales of oilseeds to farmers and offering a highly successful marketing service for the farmer. See History for more details.
Being a farmer co-operative we strive to provide added value to our farmer members' businesses, through a professional approach, from the selling of seed to the marketing of the crop, and in the true spirit of a co-operative business we distribute a profit share each year when the funds are available.
Having 48 years experience and a network of area managers throughout the country, we provide a level of service and expertise which is the envy of the industry. See about us.
The exceptional trading conditions in 2007/08, which gave rise to a huge price rise towards the end of the financial year, were reflected in both the excellent Pool Prices paid, and the current year's accounts.
The board, some time ago, set out a policy to increase the reserves of the company to a point whereby, a profit distribution could be made to our trading members as mentioned above. Over the last three years a distribution of almost £1 million has been paid back to our members.
The strong balance sheet gives our farmer growers the confidence in our company.
