Turkey has imposed a temporary ban on wheat imports from June 21 to October 15, affecting its fifth largest grain trader, but the Russian Ministry of Agriculture does not expect the move to impact Russian exporters negatively. The ban is expected to decrease global prices and slow down the Russian grain market. Domestic purchase prices for wheat in Russia have already fallen by 13% to 16 thousand rubles per ton. The ban is seen as a way to support local producers and address issues of excess waste. However, there are concerns that the ban could negatively impact Russian agricultural producers and exporters, and that world wheat prices may decline, impacting the Russian grain market. Despite these concerns, some experts believe that the ban will not significantly affect the global balance of wheat in the new season and that export prices for Russian grain may only decrease slightly, with the domestic market and a stronger ruble providing some support.
