World rapeseed prices remained stable during the month amid significant last year's stocks and new crop arrivals, as well as the start of a seasonal decline in vegetable oil prices.   Rapeseed futures in Paris fell by 2% on forecasts of a 30% increase in the area of winter rape seeding in Ukraine, not reacting to a decrease in the forecast of canola production in Canada.   StatCan experts lowered the forecast for canola production in Canada in FY 2023/24 by 6.1%...

Canada's wheat harvest forecast has been cut more than analysts expected, but despite this, wheat prices on world exchanges fell another 1.3-3.3% yesterday, confirming that the markets are going against logic. The reason for the drop was the better-than-expected state of spring wheat crops in the USA and the confirmation of a high harvest in the Russian Federation.   StatCan experts predict that wheat production in FY 2023/24 will decrease compared to the previous season by 14.2%...

Yesterday's report from Statistics Canada (StatCan) significantly lowered crop forecasts for wheat, barley and canola, but raised production estimates for soybeans and corn compared to 2022.

A heat wave that covered the US corn belt last week, as well as forecasts of heat next week, which could reduce the harvest of corn and especially soybeans in the US, support the quotation.   After a crop tour of 7 major US corn and soybean growing regions, Pro Farmer estimated US corn yields in 2023 at 10.79 t/ha and total production at 380 million tons, which would be lower than the USDA's August estimate of 383 .8 million tons, but will become the third historical indicator....

After Russian shelling of Ukrainian ports on the Danube, part of the owners of ships working on the Reni/Izmail - Constanta route refused to cooperate, which led to an increase in freight prices and a drop in wheat purchase prices. At the same time, world prices continue to fall under the pressure of the end of harvesting in the EU and the US and increased harvest forecasts.   Export purchase prices in Danube ports fell by 3-7 $/t during the week to $165-170/t for food wheat, and to...

To ship grain from the Danube ports of Ukraine, exporters use all available ships with a deadweight of 1.5-8 thousand tons, so now mostly ships 35-40 years old are operating, although their service life is usually 25-30 years.   During the operation of the grain corridor, significantly larger grain carriers entered the ports of the Danube, in particular, in June - the ship "Blue Gate" with a deadweight of 24 thousand tons.   Using the old fleet allows you to...
