India's summer food grain output is forecast at 134.67 million tonnes, up 2.8%, with rice down 2% to 94.48 million tonnes. Novorossiysk exported 409,208 tonnes of grain in the week of September 18-24, including 321,000 tonnes of wheat, and an Egyptian prosecutor ruled that Romanian wheat contaminated with poppy seeds must be cleaned.
A lower Indian rice crop could tighten Asian rice supply and support prices, while steady Black Sea wheat shipments keep export competition firm. The Egyptian contamination case is a minor quality-related trade issue.
