Agricultural consultancy SovEcon has raised its forecast for Russian wheat exports for the 2025-26 marketing season, boosting the figure by 0.4 million metric tons (MMT) to a commanding 44.6 MMT. <\/p>\n

The revision comes as a direct result of the consistently robust pace of wheat shipments from the world’s largest wheat exporter, SovEcon said in its latest update. <\/p>\n

This increased export capacity signals a significant supply presence in the global grain market and underscores the resilience of Russia’s wheat supply chain. <\/p>\n

Strong monthly export performance<\/h2>\n

The upward adjustment is closely watched by international grain traders and importing nations, as Russia’s export volume is a critical factor influencing global wheat prices and supply dynamics.<\/p>\n

Russia has maintained a strong pace of wheat exports in recent months, with estimates indicating a significant year-over-year increase in December shipments. <\/p>\n

SovEcon projects Russian wheat exports for December at 4.2 MMT, which is a notable rise from 3.4 MMT a year ago, although it remains just under the 2017 record of 4.3 MMT. <\/p>\n

This trend follows extremely strong performance in the preceding months. November exports reached a record-breaking 5.1 MMT, up substantially from 4.1 MMT in the previous year. <\/p>\n

Similarly, October saw high volumes, with shipments hitting 5.5 MMT, narrowly missing last year\u2019s record of 5.6 MMT. Overall, these figures highlight Russia’s consistent and robust role as a major global wheat exporter.<\/p>\n

Key importers re-engage<\/h2>\n

Importer demand for Russian wheat is currently robust, sustaining historically high shipment volumes in recent months. <\/p>\n

This consistent demand highlighted the competitive pricing and reliable supply offered by Russia in the global grain market. <\/p>\n

Notably, key buyers who had paused their purchasing activities, such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia, in anticipation of future price drops, have now re-entered the market, SovEcon said. <\/p>\n

This renewed engagement from major importers underscores a broader acceptance of current pricing levels and a need to secure essential wheat supplies, further solidifying Russia’s dominant position as a global wheat exporter.<\/p>\n

Market conditions are currently providing a favourable environment for exporters, the agricultural consultancy said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Improved profitability from price divergence<\/h2>\n

A key driver is the divergence between domestic and international pricing. <\/p>\n

Specifically, domestic prices for the commodity are continuing a trend of easing, or becoming lower.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In contrast, export prices are remaining stable and robust, holding firm at around $230 per ton Free On Board (FOB). This shift in the pricing structure has led to a significant change in exporter profitability. <\/p>\n

Margins, which were previously in negative territory, have now “flipped” to a slightly positive position, equating to a few dollars per ton. This indicates a modest but welcome improvement in the financial viability of export operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia\u2019s export campaign started slowly this season but has accelerated to near-record levels,\u201d Andrey Sizov, managing director at SovEcon, said in the update. <\/p>\n

\n

We do not rule out further upward revisions to the export forecast, though slow farmer selling and a strong ruble remain key headwinds.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, the US Department of Agriculture’s December forecast for Russian grain exports remained consistent, with wheat exports holding steady at 44.0 MMT. <\/p>\n

Similarly, the forecasts for barley and corn exports were unchanged at 3.5 MMT and 3.0 MMT, respectively.<\/p>\n
