Canada Signs Major Wheat Sale With China
Canada will ship 224 million bushels of wheat to China over three years starting January, in a deal valued by world prices at about $1 billion. A prior contract covers 37 million bushels for $200 million at $5.45 per bushel, with world price at $5.60. Separate contracts depend on prices. China aims to raise living standards and boost rice and soybean prices, while the Soviet Union delays purchases due to its crop and price levels.
