# Algeria buys wheat again as Germany forecasts 17% drop in corn harvest

> Algeria's state agency OAIC closed a tender for over 700,000 tonnes of milling wheat at about $313/t CIF, with shipments in January 2027. Germany expects its 2026 corn harvest to fall 17.1% after a hot, dry summer, and Euronext wheat eased as buyers turned to Argentina.

## Why it matters

A large Algerian purchase supports world wheat demand, but sourcing from Argentina instead of Europe weighs on EU wheat prices. The German corn shortfall points to more EU corn imports and firmer corn prices.
