# France to deliver over 60,000 tons of wheat to Saudi Arabia

> Two loadings of over 60,000 t of French wheat each are scheduled at Rouen and La Pallice for Saudi Arabia. EU data show these are the first major French wheat shipments to Saudi Arabia since 2020. The move reflects France boosting sales to buyers that have mainly relied on Russian supply.

## Why it matters

Saudi buyers shifting from Black Sea wheat to France tightens competing supply and supports EU export demand. The volume is modest relative to global trade, so the price effect is limited.
