Demand for Ukrainian wheat remains high, in particular from Spain, where last week agreements were concluded for the supply of feed wheat at a price of $237-238 per ton with delivery in January, according to the analytical cooperative “Pusk”, established within the framework of the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Rada.
Analysts noted that the world markets are facing competition from Russian wheat, which dominates the markets of Algeria, Tunisia and the Middle East due to its aggressive pricing policy. However, the situation, according to experts, may change in 2025.
“It is expected that from February to June 2025, the Russian Federation will be able to export only 11 million tons due to the introduction of an export quota. This is significantly less than in the previous season, when the quota was 28-29 million tons. An additional factor of influence is the unsatisfactory condition of 30% of winter crops in Russia. We can expect a gradual increase in wheat prices already in December-January, which may amount to $20-25 per ton,” – predicted in ‘Pusk’.
Analysts added that on the domestic market of Ukraine, wheat of 2-3 class remains the main commodity for processors, while exporters are offered feed grain.
