Bloomberg reports that Russia has expanded its share of Vietnam's wheat imports, with Russian wheat now competing against U.S., Australian and Canadian supplies. Russian exporters are using smaller ports to keep pace with record wheat export volumes.
Vietnamese buyers are reportedly favoring Russian wheat on price and quality.
Record Russian export pace adds supply competition for U.S. and Australian wheat in Asia, which can cap export prices. Shifting import share changes the demand flow for other origins.
