Today's tender takes place on the background of a significant weakening in the prices of European and American wheat, and will be a new test of Russian grain on the competitiveness.

  • for hard wheat HRW in Kansas city by 3.77 $/t to 156,71 $/t,
  • on a hard spring wheat HRS in Minneapolis by 4.32 $/t to 241,86 $/t
