Russia's grain exports are slowing due to tougher quality controls at ports after buyer complaints about falling crop standards, plus a stronger rouble. Traders report cargoes delayed 3 to 5 days, and Black Sea prices for Russian wheat rose $5 to $220 a tonne over two weeks.
Slower Russian shipments tighten near-term wheat export supply and support Black Sea wheat prices, which pulls global wheat values higher and supports feed grain alternatives.
