Overview

Global perspectives Another year of plentiful supply, however, although all looks calm on the surface there are some key risks to be aware of. UK focus A contrasting domestic situation compared with the global

Global summary

  • Another year of comfortable supply but elements of risk ahead
  • Increasing importance of Russia
  • Global wheat stocks excluding China paint a different picture

from the headlines

  • Wheat area in the main exporting countries in decline – higher

reliance on yield means higher volatility.

Challenges and opportunities for the UK wheat market

Challenges

  • Feed wheat facing a more competitive

market.

  • Agronomic challenges leading to

higher spring plantings (in particular barley).

  • Brexit

Opportunities

  • With potential import substitution in

wider agriculture, feed wheat demand could grow.

  • Could spring wheat see a boost, from

the increased spring plantings?

  • Niche markets present potential
  • pportunities for export.
  • Opportunity to press forward with

productivity, and have a competitive agri-food sector.
