# French wheat exports falter as Algeria shuns its top supplier 24.01.2022 - UkrAgroConsult

> Algeria has excluded French offers in its past three milling wheat import tenders, amid a diplomatic row with France. Algeria typically buys around 6 million tonnes a year and has accounted for 40-50% of French non-EU wheat exports. French wheat stocks at season end were forecast at a 17-year high.

## Why it matters

Losing a major buyer leaves France with large unsold stocks, which pressures EU wheat export prices and encourages rival suppliers to compete for Algerian business. The effect is bearish for wheat export values.
