Within reporting week feed wheat market prices have, once again, boosted up. It is to be admitted, now sale/purchase operations number is gradually growing as much as spring approaches.
As of this week, feed wheat purchase prices have improved to UAH1,500–1,730 per MT (EXW-ex-elevator, minimal prices were dictated by companies which didn’t need feed wheat) and UAH1,700–1,850 per MT (CPT Black Sea/Azov Sea ports).
This week feed wheat export offer prices have also slightly grown, — up to US$235–245 per MT (small-sized Coaster type vessls) and US$245–260 per MT (Handysize/Panamax type vessels).
Within this week food wheat purchase prices have also somewhat strengthened against previous week. Thus, 3 and 2 classes food wheat purchase prices have grown correspondingly to UAH1,600–1,700 per MT (EXW-ex-elevator) and UAH1,700–1,800 per MT (EXW-ex-elevator).
At same time, exporters have raised also 3 and 2 classes food wheat purchase prices on CPT Black Sea/Azov Sea ports basis (due to difficulties with bringing wheat by railway to ports) up to UAH1,850–1,950 per MT (depending on quality/lots). However, as it seems, these purchase prices are quite possible to continue growing: as of now, Ukrainian food wheat export prices are rather attractive, so exporters are ready to continue raising their purchase prices.
