The Australian Wheat Board sold about 500000 tons of wheat for over 25 million cash to the Soviet Union, marking the first sale to Moscow in six years. Negotiated in July by a three member delegation, shipment will occur between January and June next year, with the last sale in 1964-65 totaling one million tons. The move aims to curb seasonal shortages, reduce Australian wheat stocks by about 18.5 million bushels, and may permit higher wheat quotas for farmers.
