Canada to Dominate Wheat Exports Through December
Dominion bureau of statistics notes Canada will lead the world export market for wheat from now until December, with Danube countries as the only significant competition. It predicts greater competition from Argentina and Australia after December, while the United States exits the export market. Russia is not expected to have an export surplus this year and Japan’s crop is down, with potential Canada gains due to a trade dispute with Australia. Carryover stocks will be smaller, limiting exports in the current year.
