# Quality of Ukrainian milling wheat returns to pre-war levels

> The Union of Ukrainian Millers says Ukrainian wheat quality has recovered to pre-war levels, based on a study of more than 15,000 samples from the 2020–2025 harvests. In 2025 average test weight was 78.2 kg/hl, protein 12.4% dry basis and wet gluten 27.6%, up from 25.7% in 2024. The 2026 harvest is said to provide enough high-quality grain for domestic processing.

## Why it matters

Better milling quality means more Ukrainian wheat can serve domestic millers and export premium grades, supporting feed-wheat and milling-wheat supply reliability. The effect on world prices is limited, since this is a quality assessment rather than a change in volumes.
