    Foreign media news on September 19: As of the week of September 17, 2021, global wheat prices have risen, mainly due to concerns about global wheat export supplies
    .
     
    On Friday, the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) December soft red winter wheat futures rose approximately 20.
    25 cents or 2.
    94% from a week ago to close at 708.
    75 cents per cat
    .
    The December hard red winter wheat futures on the Kansas City Futures Exchange (KCBT) closed at approximately $713 per bus, up 30.
    5 cents or 4.
    47% from a week ago
    .
    The December hard red spring wheat futures on the Minneapolis Grain Exchange (MGEX) closed at approximately 900.
    5 cents per bust, up 21.
    75 cents or 2.
    48% from a week ago
    .
    Euronext's December 2021 milling wheat period reported about 247.
    75 euros/ton, an increase of 10 euros or 4.
    21% from a week ago
    .
    The spot price of Argentine wheat was 293 US dollars/ton, up 5 US dollars or 1.
    74% from a week ago, FOB price
    .
     
      On Tuesday, Statistics Canada lowered the forecast value of all wheat production in Canada to 21.
    7 million tons, which was lower than the previous forecast of 22.
    9 million tons and a decrease of 38.
    3% from 2020, as the yield fell to 35.
    2 bu/acre, a year-on-year decrease of 32.
    6%; The area fell to 22.
    7 million acres, a year-on-year decrease of 8.
    5%
    .
    The main reason for the decline in wheat production is spring wheat.
    In addition to the reduced planting area, the drought in Western Canada has also led to a reduction in spring wheat production
    .
    Statistics Canada lowered its forecast for spring wheat production from 16.
    1 million tons to 15.
    3 million tons, a 41% decrease from the previous year and the lowest output since 2007
    .
     
      Earlier this week, the European Union’s Food Traders Association (Coceral) released a monthly report showing that the production of soft wheat in the 27 EU countries and the United Kingdom in 2021 is expected to be 143.
    4 million tons, lower than the 145.
    8 million tons predicted in May
    .
    The adjustment is mainly due to lower-than-expected production in France, Germany and Scandinavia
    .
    However, the reduced production will still be much higher than the 128.
    1 million tons produced in 2020
    .
    Coceral lowered the 2021 soft wheat production in the EU-27 to 128.
    6 million tons, lower than the previous forecast of 130.
    9 million tons, of which the French wheat production is expected to be 35.
    1 million tons, which is lower than the 36 million tons forecast in May
    .
     
      In Russia, last week, Russian wheat export prices rose for the ninth consecutive week, because Russian wheat export tariffs continued to increase and domestic wheat production decreased
    .
    The consulting agency IAKR said that as of September 10, the FOB price of 12.
    5% ​​of Russian protein wheat at the Black Sea port was US$300 per ton, and it was supplied at the beginning of October, an increase of US$0.
    50 from a week ago
    .
    According to consulting agency SovEcon, the price of wheat in Russia has risen by US$2 from the previous week to US$303 per ton, while the price of barley has stabilized at US$260 per ton
    .
    SovEcon said that Russian wheat continues to lose competitiveness, but export tariffs are unpredictable, making it impossible for exporters to cut prices
    .
    Since June, the Russian government has adjusted export tariffs every week
    .
    From September 15 to 21, Russia’s wheat export tariffs were raised to US$52.
    5 per ton, higher than the current US$46.
    50
    .
    The benchmark price used to calculate the tariff is still lower than the actual FOB price
    .
    SovEcon said that tariffs are still a big uncertainty for wheat, and exporters face risks when they provide prices
    .
     
      However, this week Australia raised its wheat export forecast data, but pointed out that the rainy weather in spring threatened whether wheat can meet the top milling standards
    .
    The Australian Bureau of Agricultural Resources, Economics and Sciences (ABARES) raised its forecasts for Australian wheat exports from October to September of the year 2021/22 by 4.
    39 million tons to 23 million tons, taking into account the latest output forecast data released last week
    .
    Although it is 665,000 tons lower than the export volume in 2020/21, it will still be the third highest point in history
    .
    Last week, ABARES raised its output of Australian wheat for the year of 2021/22 by 4.
    8 million tons to 32.
    63 million tons, which was only 704,000 tons less than the previous year's record output of 33.
    337 million tons
    .
    ABARES said that the output value of Australian wheat exports in 2021/22 is expected to reach a record US$8.
    5 billion, reflecting the high export volume and high prices of wheat
    .
     
      Canadian and American spring wheat crops are affected by drought, which is conducive to the growth of Australian wheat exports
    .
    The two countries compete fiercely with Australia in the export market for high-protein wheat
    .
    Due to the declining supply of high-protein wheat in the two countries, the prices of high-protein wheat in Canada and the United States have soared
    .
    The quality of wheat in the EU has also been reduced due to rain during harvest, especially in France, the number one wheat exporter in Europe
    .
    France AgriMer, the crop office under the French Ministry of Agriculture, said on Friday that only 39% of soft wheat in France has a bulk density higher than the flour processing standard of 76 kg/100 liters
    .
     
      In contrast, Australian wheat production is expected to hit a record second-highest in history, and export quotations may be competitive, which will help Australian wheat fill the supply gap in the United States and Canada
    .
    However, ABARES cautioned that excessive rainfall in spring may delay harvest, leading to an increase in the proportion of low-protein wheat and increasing the chance of wheat damage or degradation
    .
    Most of the main wheat producing areas in Australia have a chance of exceeding the average rainfall in more than 70%
    .
    The impaired quality of Australian wheat may weaken Australia’s opportunity to take advantage of the low global supply of high-quality wheat to expand exports
