Indonesia is increasing imports of low-quality wheat
21.02.2024
Indonesia is increasing imports of low-quality wheat, and recently contracted 300,000 tons of Black Sea wheat, which will keep prices in Ukraine from falling further. A severe drought caused by the El Nino phenomenon in the second half of last year delayed the planting of corn and sharply reduced its yield, which reduced the supply of feed grain.

The blocking of the border by Polish "farmers" almost stopped the already insignificant supplies of rapeseed from Ukraine to Germany or the Baltic countries.

European canola quotes rose 2% during the week amid curbs on supplies from Ukraine, but were pressured by...
