Minister Sergei Vershinin began on Monday.
Prices for Russian wheat with 12.5% protein content,
delivered free on board (FOB) from Black Sea ports, fell $2 to
$290 a tonne last week, the IKAR agriculture consultancy said.
“Markets continue to descend against the background of big
supply and rather limited demand,” IKAR head Dmitry Rylko said.
Russia exported 1 million tonnes of wheat last week, up from
770,000 tonnes the week before, the Sovecon consultancy said,
citing port data.
It estimates that Russia’s wheat exports in March could
reach 4.2 million tonnes, up from 2.1 million tons a year
earlier and the highest level since March 2018.
Russia’s sowing campaign began a few weeks ago. Weather
conditions for the crop in Russia’s south, a major wheat-growing
area, have improved due to ample rainfall, Sovecon said.
