Major Wheat Exporters'
Sales Pace
Ahead of Last Year
Million Metric Tons
Note: Includes exports only for Canada and Australia and
licenses as a proxy for EU sales.
World wheat trade for the year is currently estimated to decline
by more than 4 million tons because of reduced imports by Russia
and minimal imports by India and Pakistan which had bumper
harvests. However, sales are up 10% in the first half of the year
by the world's five major exporters. These exporters are expected
to represent 86% of global trade this year.
Australia and Canada have posted strong sales as demand for wheat
has strengthened. Argentina is more than one million tons ahead
of last year's pace owing to strong sales to Middle Eastern
markets. Alternatively, the EU is behind pace this year because
of concerns over tight supplies of quality wheat and high
domestic prices while U.S. sales have strengthened somewhat after
an initial slow pace.
