According to analysts, export prices for Russia wheat are rising. Additionally, restrictions in the form of an export quota and increased export tariffs are leading to smaller volumes. Russian wheat exports are expected to be about 2 million tons in February, more than 50% less than last year for this month. The Russian export quota came into effect on February 15 and is valid until June 30. Russian grain stocks are smaller than a year ago.

The export quota for Russian wheat, which will come into effect from February 15, will delay deliveries. Analysts also expect that Russian exporters will charge higher prices. That will support the EU market. The European Commission wants to impose additional import duties on fertilizer and a number of agricultural products, including wheat, from Russia and Belarus (Belarus). The committee wants to slow down these imports. This has hardly any consequences for the export of Russian wheat to the EU.

Many growers expect prices to rise sharply in the coming months, so that they can sell their wheat at a good price. But will that happen? No one can predict this because developments on the global market follow each other at a rapid pace. “We really don’t know. Nobody knows,” says a trader.

Ukraine has announced that it will introduce a new system of minimum export prices for grains and oilseeds from early December. The country decided to do this to prevent the use of artificially low prices with the aim of evading taxes. Ukrainian traders, united in the UGA trade union, reacted with concern. They have said that the new approach puts half of Ukraine’s wheat exports at risk. The system leads to uncertainty on the market and the loss of an important part of exports, UGA reports.
