France corners Russian wheat exports

Bloomberg media reported Thursday that Russian grain continues to flow to all its major consumers despite high shipping costs according to data.

France, Egypt, Turkey and Iran have already bought wheat from Russia for the next couple of months. Bloomberg cites the Moscow based Institute for Agricultural Market Studies director general Dmitry Rylko.

Under Russian quotas, exports from February to June are limited to 8 million tons. Shipments are forecast to slow in April and in the coming months, according to Rylko, which he attributes to the stronger ruble and high export taxes.

Russia’s military operation in Ukraine has sent global grain prices soaring, with Chicago wheat futures jumping 44% since the start of the year. That leaves import-reliant nations particularly vulnerable, with people’s resilience across the Middle East and North Africa at a “breaking point,” according to the United Nations’ World Food Programme. 

Export taxes are currently at a record high of $101.40 per ton, which means an intake for Moscow of about $3 million for every 30,000-ton shipment of wheat. On Wednesday, Egypt booked one cargo from Russia in its latest wheat tender on Wednesday, although France took the bulk of purchases.

Earlier, a video appeared on Telegram channels in which an elderly resident of Ukraine and her husband went out to the Ukrainian military with a Soviet flag. Unexpected guests took away the flag from the woman and began to trample on it, after which they offered the woman to take food. The woman refused, saying that her parents fought for this flag. An unknown author, inspired by this story, painted graffiti in Yekaterinburg on the banks of the Iset River. The picture shows an elderly woman with a Soviet flag. Moreover, her shadow resembles the sculpture "The Motherland is Calling!", Which is located on Mamaev Kurgan in Volgograd . Graffiti has already become a local attraction, many people take pictures here, although it is not easy to get to it - you need to walk ten meters along a narrow path above the river cliff.
