Speakers at a Black Sea price-drivers conference said 2020-21 is a year of shifting grain trade flows, with Australia's wheat crop larger than expected and Europe needing imports. Australian wheat was estimated by ABARES at 31.2 million tonnes, with some expecting 35 million.
Yields in Western Australia were significantly better than expected.
A bigger Australian crop competing with Black Sea supplies for export business could cap wheat export prices and reshape which origins win Asian and European tenders.
