HMRC trade data for July reveals a significant increase in wheat imports into the UK in the beginning of the 2024/25 marketing year, with figures surpassing last year's and the five-year average for July. The majority of these imports were sourced from Germany and Denmark, with Canada in third place.

In July 2024, Germany ranked as the top origin at 137 Kt, with Denmark second at 66Kt, and Canada third with 55 Kt. Anecdotally, Germany and Canda are key sources of milling grade imports for the UK. However, both are facing lower ...
