The harvest in Ukraine and Russia increases the volume of global supply

Thanks to the favorable weather of September and October the current rate of harvest is higher than last year. In Ukraine is confirmed by a good crop of corn, but the low humidity allows you to speed up collection and reduce the cost of drying. An increase in supply of new crop due to low global demand weighs on prices.

Reduction of the wheat harvest in Kazakhstan will intensify the import of wheat from the Eastern regions of Russia to load refining capacities, which will reduce the pressure of Russian grain on the world markets.
