The March-April 2014 issue of Grain & Feed Milling Technology discusses global grain trade dynamics, focusing on wheat, maize, and oilseed markets, particularly amidst geopolitical tensions in the former Soviet Union. Notably, wheat trade reached a record 158.5 million tonnes, driven largely by China and Egypt, although recent price increases have led to a decrease in trading activity. The report also highlights the resilience of grain exports from Ukraine and Russia despite ongoing political concerns, as well as projected changes in market conditions based on supply and demand forecasts.
