No Canada to Russia Wheat Sales This Year
Ottawa reports there will be no Canadian wheat sold to Russia in this crop year. Trade officials note Russia had a strong 1970 harvest and is resuming exports, clouding the Wheat Board’s forecast of record sales. Former minister Otto Lang had projected up to 700 million bushels for the year ending July 31, 1971, with as much as 500 million bushels potentially being wheat.

Russians Fail To Take Remaining Wheat From 1966 Deal
Canada faces a stalled long term sale as Moscow delays 53 million bushels of wheat from the 1966 contract. Ottawa and Lang's office say the issue won’t derail the 700 million bushel grain target even as Russia turns to Cuba, buying Canadian flour worth up to 25 million dollars and about 14 to 15 million bushels of wheat. Cuba becomes the largest customer of Canadian flour as the Russia Cuba exchange grows.
