Wheat: situation and outlook
Wheat prices reached record levels in 2007-2008, due to a
combination of tight supplies in major exporting countries,
increased demand for grains and weakness in the United States
(US) dollar. For 2008-2009, wheat prices are expected to remain
near the historically high levels of 2007-2008 due to continuing
tight world and major exporter stocks, as well as spill over
support from higher feed grain prices. This issue of the
Bi-weekly Bulletin examines the situation for wheat for
2007-2008 and the outlook for 2008-2009. "Wheat" refers to all
wheat including durum, unless otherwise specified. For an
overview of the market for durum wheat see Bi-weekly Bulletin,
Volume 20 Number 18.
