In Friday's report, the state Agency FranceAgrimer reported that the quality of French wheat of the new harvest is extremely variable. Most of the grain has a high protein content and low nature.
According to laboratory tests, 65% French soft wheat have protein content more than 12%, and only 6% contain below 11.5% protein, which is the minimum required for grain exports.
some 79% of the grain of soft wheat have increased the number of falls by a higher Hagberg, 240 h, while last year 95% of the grain had such a figure.
Naturno weight above 76 kg per hectolitre (which is the minimum level for wheat traded at the exchange) has only 28% of the new crop.
For complex indices:
- 72% of wheat belong to the middle class and A3 have protein above 10.5% and a falling number greater than 170 sec,
- 16% of wheat belong to the top class A2 and have protein above 11%, Naturno weight was 76 kg per hectoliter and higher falling number of 220 seconds,
- and only 10% of wheat belong to the premium class A1 and have protein above 11.5 per cent, Naturno weight 77 kg per hectoliter and a falling number above 240 sec.
