According to market operators, on November 11, the Algerian state grain agency OAIC held an international tender for the purchase of at least 500 thousand tons of food wheat of any origin, where it purchased unannounced volumes of wheat at a price of $263-264/ton C&F with delivery to the port of Mostaganem and $270-271/ton C&F with delivery to the port of Tenes.   Traders believe that the requirement for wheat to arrive at only two ports indicates a relatively small volume of...

Shelling and damage to railway infrastructure, as well as power outages at both loading and unloading points in ports, reduced the turnover of grain wagons and led to a sharp increase in tariffs for rail transportation, and then road transport.   Due to the delay in the corn harvest, suppliers in November needed additional wagons to speed up deliveries to the port. Rates for rail transportation over distances of up to 500 km increased by 30% in two months, and in some places by 50% -...

Increasing demand for meat and feed proteins is stimulating the soybean market. According to estimates by the International Grains Council (IGC), global soybean consumption will reach a record 430 million tons in the 2025/26 MY, reports the German Oil and Protein Crops Promotion Union (UFOP).   The growth in consumption is driven by increased demand for meat and, consequently, high-protein animal feed, especially in Asia's rapidly growing food production...

The increase in sunflower supply and the fall in sunflower oil prices led to a decrease in speculative demand for sunflower in Ukraine and a price pullback.   In Ukraine, producers managed to accelerate the harvest of sunflower, despite high humidity and periodic precipitation. As of November 6, 8.729 million tons of sunflower were harvested from 90% of the planned area or 4.61 million hectares, with a yield of 1.89 tons/hectare (last year, 9.684 million tons were harvested from 95%...
