A Russian Ministry of Agriculture order dated 27 October 2026 set limits for state grain purchase and sale interventions covering 30 October 2026 to 30 June 2027. Minimum purchase prices for 2025-2026 crop wheat, rye and barley and maximum prices for state sales were set for all regions.
The floor price for state purchases supports domestic grain values, while the ceiling limits how far state sales can push prices up. The effect on world prices is limited, but it shapes Russian farm selling and export pricing.
After 137 past neutral policy events, WHEAT moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (43% higher; middle half -1.9% to +1.2%), and +0.3% over 20.
