Début octobre 2021, pendant la présidence slovène de l'Union européenne (UE), un sommet infructueux entre l'Union européenne et les pays des Balkans occidentaux a été organisé au château de Brdo, dans le cadre de la coopération stratégique de l'UE avec les Balkans occidentaux. Le sommet a réaffirmé les propos tenus par le président serbe Aleksandar Vučić (SNS) depuis l'apparition de la pandémie de COVID-19, lorsqu'il a déclaré que l'UE "était un conte de fées sur le papier" et souligné qu'"il n'y a pas de grande solidarité internationale ou européenne".
Le manque d'intérêt de l'UE pour l'élargissement a incité les dirigeants des pays des Balkans occidentaux à penser à l'avenir et à rechercher des solutions optimales à cette situation complexe.

L’Indice FAO des prix des céréales s’est établi en moyenne à 144,8 points en février, soit 4,2 points (3,0 pour cent) de plus qu’en janvier et 18,7 points (14,8 pour cent) de plus que son niveau enregistré il y a un an. En février, les prix de toutes les principales céréales ont augmenté par rapport à leurs valeurs respectives du mois dernier. Les prix mondiaux du blé ont progressé de 2,1 pour cent, en grande partie sous l’effet de nouvelles incertitudes quant à l’offre mondiale, dans un contexte de perturbations dans la région de la mer Noire qui pourraient potentiellement entraver les exportations de la Fédération de Russie et de l’Ukraine, deux exportateurs majeurs de blé. Les prix à l’exportation des céréales secondaires ont eux aussi augmenté, de 4,7 pour cent.

On Wednesday, Feb. 9, USDA is expected to make small reductions to ending stocks estimates of U.S. corn and soybeans for 2021-22. Traders will likely be most interested in USDA's new estimates of South America's corn and soybean crops after both have been suffering dry conditions for over a month. CORN USDA's February World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report is traditionally one of the quieter ones of the year, happening at a time when the Northern Hemisphere is hibernating through winter and traders' attention is turned to South America. This WASDE report is unusual in that it finds March corn prices trading near their highest level in over eight years for a March contract, and there are plenty of drought concerns in southern Brazil and Argentina to keep traders interested.

RIYADH: Egypt, the world’s largest wheat importer, has achieved 62 percent self-sufficiency in the grain this season, according to the Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation. The country cultivates 3.7 million acres with wheat, producing 9.5 to 10 million tons, Mohamed El Quseir told Asharq during Expo 2020 Dubai. El Qusier noted that this area is the largest ever set aside for the grain in Egypt’s history. The wheat planting season starts from mid-November until the end of January, while the harvest season starts from mid-April until mid-July, according to Asharq.
