Wheat prices in China's main producing areas rose in the week to Monday as flour demand increased and supplies tightened. Shijiazhuang wheat was 2080-2110 yuan per ton, up 20-30 yuan, and farmers held back sales.
Recent heavy snow has disrupted transport, and government auctions sold 21% of planned volume at an average of 1856 yuan per ton, up 7 yuan.
Firmer Chinese wheat prices, driven by feed and flour processors buying ahead of year-end holidays, support import demand and firm global wheat prices. Snow-related transport delays add near-term upward pressure.
