Russia supplied all of Egypt’s wheat since August

Russia extended continued a three-month “clean sweep” in orders from the world’s biggest wheat buyer, the General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC), UkrAgroConsult reports. Russia’s continued wins in GASC tenders against other suppliers came driven by weakness in the rouble and “increased competition” on international markets. GASC has so far bought 3.79 mn tonnes of wheat in 2017-18, of which 2.42 mn came from Russia, including all of the wheat GASC bought last Wednesday. Russian wheat has accounted for all GASC purchases since August.
