Russian wheat export prices fell after two weeks of growth due to lower prices in Chicago.

Ukraine's state weather centre said this weekend around 98% of Ukrainian winter wheat crops and 100% of winter barley were in good condition.

 

The government has said favourable weather could help farmers to increase their grain crop to 75 million tonnes this year from 65.5 million tonnes in 2020.

APK-Inform said export prices for Ukrainian corn added $2 to $4 a tonne to $262-$270 while barley prices remained stable at $259-$265 FOB Black Sea.

Ukraine sold about 57 million tonnes of grain to foreign buyers in the 2019/20 season while the government has said exports could decline to 45.4 million tonnes in 2020/21 because of a weaker harvest. (Reporting by Pavel Polityuk)
