Russian Grain Exports Plunge to 17-Year Low

Beyond the droughts, grain exports have been hindered by farmers' reluctance to sell due to low prices and a strong ruble.

“Farmers are in such a position that they will fight for each ruble this season,” one anonymous grain trader told Reuters.

Another source in the grain export industry noted that signs of a wheat shortage are already apparent at Russian ports.

“Grain is arriving at the port two to three weeks later than exporters expected, due to delays in harvesting, lengthy procedures for obtaining declarations and low prices,” the trader told Reuters. “The goods have been sold, but there’s nothing to load onto the ships.”
