"That’s because droughts are eroding production in Australia, the U.S. and Canada. Those are the dominant suppliers of wheat to Asia, which accounts for about a third of global imports."
" “Russia’s crop is expected to be a record. They will need to find markets to supply that wheat to.”"
“Milling technology is probably the main handbrake” that’s curbed demand for Russian grain, Basnett said. “However, this is ever improving, and therefore Asian millers will be able to incorporate a higher percentage of the lower quality and materially cheaper Russian wheat.”
I'm not a wheat guy. Just passing the story on.
