Tridge summary

Global wheat prices have mostly increased as winter wheat crop conditions in the U.S. are better than previous years. However, this is largely offset by abundant supply of cheap wheat from major exporters like Russia, Argentina, and Australia.

Industry insiders expect the government to need to import wheat in 2024.
