The purchase of French, Romanian, Russian, and Bulgarian wheat in last Wednesday\u2019s tender was GASC\u2019s largest since at least 2012, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-06-29\/egypt-bulks-up-wheat-supplies-with-biggest-purchase-in-years?sref=mmeFTDW1\">Bloomberg<\/a> data shows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The breakdown: <\/strong>The order was for 350k tons of French wheat, 240k tons of Romanian wheat, 175k tons from Russia, and 50k tons from Bulgaria. This is the third successful tender GASC has launched since Russia invaded Ukraine. Pre-war, the two countries supplied north of 80% of our wheat imports.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We locked in the grain while prices are lower: <\/strong>GASC bought the wheat at around USD 430-440 per ton on a cost and freight (C&F) basis, with the cheapest prices coming from Romania and the most expensive from France, <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/4-egypts-gasc-buys-815-222435735.html\">Reuters<\/a> reports, citing traders. That\u2019s around 8-10% cheaper than GASC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/b942fd02-9eaa-4563-87e3-f3b7b635eb0b\">last purchase of mostly Romanian wheat in June<\/a>, though still 58% above prices from the same period last year. Unusually, the purchase is for shipments spread out over several months rather than a matter of weeks, Bloomberg notes, suggesting GASC looked to lock in the greatest amount of grain possible while the price was right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can thank recent recession predictions: <\/strong>The outbreak of war in Ukraine at the end of February sent <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/7ed46039-3d92-4d6c-acc9-0261343b42c2\">grain prices to a 14-year high<\/a> and spurred talk of a global food security crisis. But murmurs of a looming global recession as central banks attempt to bring down inflation has cooled the markets. Chicago futures are now trading at their lowest price since February, having fallen by a third since the middle of May.<\/p>\n<p><strong>French grain on the rise?<\/strong> This latest tender offers fresh evidence that France is becoming an important supplier to Egypt after war in Ukraine blocked shipments from the country.
