Egypt Secures Massive Private Deal for Russian Wheat: Exclusive

Egypt's state grains buyer, the General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC), has purchased approximately 480,000 metric tons of Russian wheat in a private deal with trading firm Solaris. The purchase was made at a price of around $270 per ton on a cost and freight basis (C&F), lower than prices offered in traditional tenders. Egypt, one of the world's largest wheat importers, has been shifting towards direct purchases due to disruptions caused by the war in Ukraine. The price may be below Russia's unofficial floor price, which aims to control domestic wheat prices. The move comes as Egypt faces a foreign currency crunch and seeks to negotiate better prices during times of uncertainty.

Mideast Countries Brace for Price Hikes as Russia Withdraws from Grain Deal

The suspension of a grain deal between Russia and Ukraine, brokered by the U.N. and Turkey, has raised concerns about rising food prices in lower-income Middle Eastern countries like Egypt, Lebanon, and Pakistan. These countries, already struggling with economic woes, fear that increased food prices could worsen poverty levels and strain government finances. While some have diversified their wheat sources and don't expect shortages, the uncertainty surrounding price hikes could exacerbate hunger. The end of the grain deal also puts pressure on governments to maintain bread subsidies and avoid raising costs for households. Egypt, the world's largest wheat importer, relies heavily on imports from Russia and Ukraine, while Lebanon depends on Ukraine for 90% of its wheat. Pakistan, however, has seen a bumper crop this year despite previous flooding.

Rainfall's Impact on Corn, Soybean, and Wheat Prices.

The recent rainfall in the US Midwest has provided some relief to the drought conditions, but it may not be enough to reverse the higher trend in corn, soybean, and wheat prices. The US Department of Agriculture has already lowered its yield estimates for these crops, and the market is anticipating further reductions. The ongoing drought and heat stress could continue to impact crop yields and prices in the coming months.

China's 'Granary' at Risk: More Rain Threatens Wheat Crop

China's largest wheat-growing province of Henan is expected to be hit by more rain in coming days, complicating efforts to harvest grain already damaged by wetter than normal weather in late May. The rains have caused some grain to sprout or be hit by blight. Around 30 million tonnes of wheat will be impacted by the rain, with between 10 million and 20 million tonnes likely to have sprouted, meaning it is unfit for human consumption. The agriculture ministry this week urged local authorities to dispatch emergency teams to drain water from fields, speed up access by harvesters and mobilise drying machinery to save as much of the crop as possible.

China's farm ministry works to save damaged wheat crop.

China's agriculture ministry is urging local authorities to speed up the harvesting and drying of damaged wheat after heavy rain flooded fields of ripe wheat in the country's most important growing region. The ministry advised authorities to send emergency teams to drain water from fields, speed up access by harvesters, and mobilize drying machinery to save as much of the crop as possible. Some wheat in southern Henan has sprouted after the rain, making it unfit for consumption, and the rain is also leading to blight in some areas.
