FranceAgriMer raised its forecast for French wheat exports outside the EU, expecting France to replace part of the Black Sea supply disrupted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The agency cut its estimate of French wheat inventory from 3.6 to 3.0 million tonnes, and it estimates 12-14 million tonnes of Ukrainian and Russian exports could be lost for the rest of 2021/22.
Losing up to 12-14 million tonnes of Black Sea wheat exports tightens global supply and pulls importers toward French origin, supporting wheat prices.
