# Indonesia continues to buy more Russian wheat, Australian producers concerned | Stock & Land | VIC

> Indonesia bought 1.14 million tonnes of Russian wheat from July 2017 to the end of March 2018, a threefold year-on-year increase. Australian producers are concerned that their largest wheat market is shifting toward Black Sea supply. Russian wheat is priced attractively and is being blended into flour.
