Russia’s August wheat exports seen falling to 3.0–3.4 million tonnes, lowest since 2016/17
AI Market Summary
Sovecon expects Russia's August wheat exports to fall to 3.0–3.4 million tonnes, the lowest since 2016/17, citing harvest delays, weak domestic pricing incentives, and Black Sea security-related shipping disruptions. As Russia is the top global wheat exporter, reduced near-term export flows and heightened logistical risk premiums can tighten seaborne supply availability and raise sensitivity to further disruption headlines.

Russia’s wheat exports in August are expected to fall to 3.0 million to 3.4 million tonnes from 4.5 million a year earlier, marking the lowest level since the 2016/17 season, according to agriculture consultancy Sovecon. The forecast reflects delayed harvesting, weak domestic prices and shipping disruptions in the Black Sea linked to security risks. Turkey has warned both Moscow and Kyiv over recent attacks in the Black Sea and urged steps to ensure safe navigation routes.
