Wheat harvest in Rio Grande do Sul has reached 70% of the expected area, but an estimate indicates only about 150,000 tonnes of the harvested crop meet milling standards. Mills are offering R$1,400 per tonne for standard wheat, while feed-grade wheat traded at R$1,255 per tonne in Rio Grande; heavy rain in Santa Catarina has damaged production and grain quality, with output forecast down 36% to 243,000 tonnes.
Limited supplies of milling-quality wheat and weather-related losses in Santa Catarina support local wheat prices, while the larger volume of lower-quality grain may remain available for feed at a discount. The quality split could widen price differences between milling and feed wheat.
