Head of the Analytical Department of the Russian Grain Union Elena Tyurina told to Agroinvestor that now the wheat market has stopped. “Our FOB price has hardly changed over the week and is $ 300 per ton. The market is waiting for new information, – noted E.Tyurina. “For wheat, we have an increase in all indicators, but, probably, the main factor that will affect the formation of the world market is the growth in consumption”. According to the latest report of the US Department of Agriculture, this figure in the world in the current season should grow by 8.8 million tons compared to the last season, E.Tyurina recalled. At the same time, production will increase by only 4.5 million tons.

“We see that the increase in consumption exceeds the increase in production. Accordingly, the growth in the world trade is expectedA decrease in carry-overs by 9.3 million tons is also expected.

Barley shipments are also very good – 19.2 thousand tons per day, in September last year there were 19.5 thousand tons. export growth can be expected to 550 thousand tons. In September last year, this figure was 434 thousand tons, – compared E.Tyurina. – The export of corn is at about the level of the last year. However, our export potential for this agriculture is not yet understood, since the harvest has just begun. Trade is proceeding cautiously, shipments are 75-78 thousand tons.”

The duty on barley will decrease from $ 33.1 to $ 31 per ton, on corn – from $ 49 to $ 47.8 per ton. The fees are calculated based on indicative prices. For wheat, the price was $ 272.8 / ton ($ 275 / ton a week earlier), for barley – $ 229.4 / ton ($ 232.3 / ton), for corn – $ 253.4 / ton ($ 255 / ton). Eduard Zernin, Chairman of the Board of the Union of Grain Exporters, specified to Agroinvestor that the cost of the Russian wheat in deep-water ports is 16.2 thousand rubles per ton, in shallow water – 15.7 thousand rubles per ton.
