Experts from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural Resources and Economics (ABARE) in a quarterly report released on Tuesday raised production estimates for all major crops due to better-than-forecast rainfall in key grain-growing areas.   Compared to June estimates, the forecast for grain production in Australia in 2025 has been increased by 12% to 62 million tonnes, which will exceed the 10-year average by 26%.   Thus, the wheat production forecast has been increased by...

On September 2, President Volodymyr Zelensky signed Bill No. 13157 on amendments to the Tax Code in connection with the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Integrated Prevention and Control of Industrial Pollution", which contains the so-called "soybean-rapeseed amendments."

Analyst firm Expana has sharply cut its EU sunflower production forecast by 1.1 million tonnes to 8.3 million tonnes (from 8.7 million tonnes last year) due to adverse weather in Bulgaria and Romania.

At the same time, December futures are trading $5-10/t more expensive than September ones, so farmers are not in a hurry to sell wheat, expecting prices to recover in...
