Tunisia's state grains agency has purchased around 125,000 tonnes of soft wheat at $311.72–314.23/tonne C&F for October–December shipment, setting a clear pricing floor for Mediterranean destinations and limiting near-term downside for Black Sea and EU export origins.
Kansas State University has officially opened the Western Star Global Grain and Food Center, a US$130 million, 178,000-square-foot facility that consolidates grain, milling, feed, pet food and food science programmes under one roof.

The World Bank-supported Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support Project (L-PRESS) has distributed feed-processing equipment and improved pasture seeds to more than 40 livestock unions and several farmer clusters in Zamfara State, Nigeria, aiming to improve feed access and boost livestock productivity.
A multi-institution US study published in Aquaculture finds that adding 5% dried fish solubles to high-soybean meal diets significantly improved growth and selected fillet-quality traits in rainbow trout, with the effect driven primarily by increased voluntary feed intake rather than improved feed conversion.

Ukraine's sunflower harvest is forecast to recover to around 14 million tonnes in 2026, roughly 20% above last year, on improved yields in eastern and southern regions. While the larger crop stabilises raw-material availability for crushers, the effect on hulled kernel supply and prices is expected to be more limited, with bakery kernels holding sideways near 0.90–0.93 EUR/kg FCA.
Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 675 introduces mandatory producer-register verification for rapeseed exporters from 1 July 2026 and soybean exporters from 1 September 2026, replacing chamber-of-commerce certificates as the basis for export-duty exemptions. The change raises working-capital and administrative costs for traders and is already contributing to a modest convergence of Ukrainian rapeseed prices toward EU benchmarks.
Chicago corn futures rose on 21 September 2026, driven by trader positioning ahead of US–China talks that could unlock new Chinese grain purchases and by persistent Black Sea supply uncertainties. Gains were broad-based but moderate, with the market still awaiting concrete outcomes from the summit.
