Turkey is banning wheat imports from June 21 to October 15, 2024, to protect domestic producers during the harvest period. This decision, which may be revised, could impact Russian farmers as Turkey has been a significant buyer of their wheat, with supplies decreasing by 23% this season. The Turkish Grain Agency has built up over 9 million tons of reserves, which are likely to be sold during the ban. The impact on Russian farmers and the global wheat market is expected to be mitigated by a decrease in Russia's export potential due to an anticipated reduction in its wheat harvest.
