# Global Winter Wheat Condition a Mixed Bag - U.S. Wheat Associates

> U.S. Wheat Associates reports mixed global winter wheat conditions as of late March. Snow across Russia and Ukraine is protecting crops from a recent cold snap but delaying spring planting. Stratégie Grains forecasts Russian 2018/19 wheat output at 77.0 MMT, sharply lower than 2017/18.

## Why it matters

A forecast drop in Russian wheat output tightens Black Sea export supply and supports wheat prices. Snow cover limits winter kill risk, so the net effect is modest for now.
