Brazil is working to reduce its dependence on foreign produce and hopes to take advantage of recent record exports to increase crops this year. In effect from December 2021 to March 2022, Brazil exported some 2.5 million tons of wheat, an unprecedented volume that benefited from a historically large harvest and, more recently, from additional demand generated by the war between wheat exporters Ukraine and Russia.

Programs like Wheat Rx are helping farmers select the best varieties and management for improving yield and quality. Wheat Letter recently reported on how improving U.S. wheat quality takes cooperation between people and industries around the world. Following up on the post about the Wheat Quality Council (WQC) meeting on Feb. 23, 2022, in Kansas City, Mo., this post is excerpted from a story in BakingBusiness.com about best management practices for growing more and improved hard red winter (HRW). At the WQC meeting, U.S. Wheat Associates (USW) Vice President and West Coast Office Director Steve Wirsching emphasized that breeding wheat for higher yields and improved quality is crucial to continue serving domestic and overseas wheat buyers. Growing wheat is often challenging, but recent adverse environmental conditions have made the venture even more so. Extreme drought and sometimes high winds without rain to relieve parched fields have ravaged the nation’s hard red winter wheat growing regions.

Russia and Ukraine account for 30% of global wheat exports. Today’s conflict is inevitably taking its toll on wheat prices worldwide. Only a few hours after Russian troops entered Ukraine, the price of wheat peaked at a record high of 344 euros a ton on Euronext. This is adding to previous inflationary pressures with global food prices reaching a 10-year record high last year, when price of cereals was 27% higher than in 2020.Food inflation is a key driver of socio-economic fragility in North Africa where countries are highly dependent on imports from global markets.

India is the world’s second-largest wheat producer after China, but a high consumption base has seldom allowed it to be a big exporter. This can change, at least in this year.

Cinq litres d’huile de tournesol par personne, pas plus. Le 5 mars 2022, des supermarchés espagnols annoncent limiter la vente de ce produit face à la ruée de consommateurs craignant une éventuelle pénurie. L’invasion de l’Ukraine par la Russie semble faire redouter, partout sur la planète, une inflation alimentaire et des ruptures d’approvisionnement sur les grandes matières premières agricoles que les deux pays exportent en très grande quantité. Dès le lancement de l’offensive russe le 24 février 2022, les prix du blé, déjà élevés, ont atteint des niveaux supérieurs à ceux de l’année 2008, quand le monde a connu une série d’émeutes et de crises alimentaires. Jusqu’où ira l’onde de choc du conflit en Europe de l’Est ? Peut-il changer la donne dans les affaires agricoles et alimentaires mondiales ?

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in late February sent a shock through the global economy. The crisis comes on the heels of disruptions to supply chains and pressure on commodity prices worldwide. For countries in North Africa, this has exacerbated economic strains from the COVID-19 pandemic.
How will the Ukraine crisis further impact food security and energy prices in Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco? What are the fiscal and budgetary impacts on these economies and are there feasible solutions to reduce the pressure on citizens?

La guerre russo-ukrainienne aura des répercussions économiques et politiques dans les années à venir. Dans cette note, nous nous intéressons aux implications économiques de la guerre sur l’économie africaine à court et à long terme. Le conflit survient alors que l’Afrique s’efforce de mettre son économie sur la voie de la reprise, dans un contexte de pressions inflationnistes mondiales et de volatilité des marchés financiers et des matières premières.

TRIBUNE. Un collectif de scientifiques, membres d’institutions, spécialistes de sécurité alimentaire mondiale et de marchés internationaux explique, dans une tribune au « Monde », que la mise en culture des surfaces européennes dédiées à la biodiversité, qui serait désastreuse sur le plan écologique, n’aurait qu’un rôle très marginal pour pallier la réduction de l’offre mondiale.

As the premier provider of pricing, analysis and news intelligence for agricultural commodities markets, Stratégie Grains' parent company AgriBriefing, has prepared this special report with contributions from its intelligence services Stratégie Grains, Feedinfo and Urner Barry, to provide insight into how this conflict is impacting the entire food supply chain. On February 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian invasion of Ukraine, garnering denunciation from countries and leaders around the world—while sending shock waves throughout global markets. President Biden, along with other NATO nations, announced “severe and immediate economic costs on Russia,” which included financial sanctions and export controls. The ruble is now worth less than one U.S. cent, while a growing list of companies have shuttered operations in Russia. “Food and agricultural markets are particularly impacted by the ripple effects of the current situation,” says Jamie Chadwick, Editorial Director for Urner Barry, the leading price reporting agency for the protein industry. “The entire supply chain is, in one way or another, feeling the effects.” This report features perspective on the grains, oilseeds and biofuels markets via Stratégie Grains, the feed additives and animal nutrition sector via Feedinfo, and the protein industry via Urner Barry.
