French wheat shipments outside EU at three-year low

French soft wheat shipments outside the European Union last month reached their lowest for a November since the 2018/19 season as shipments to China slowed following a brisk October, reports ProAgro Group, citing Reuters.

Soft wheat exports to destinations outside the 27-country bloc totalled 802,700 tonnes in November, the fifth month of the 2021/22 season, an initial estimate based on Refinitiv loading data showed.

Algeria was the largest non-EU destination for French soft wheat, with an initial estimate of 256,700 tonnes, followed by China with 237,700 tonnes.

That is down from the 514,800 tonnes of soft wheat loaded for China in October, which was the highest monthly volume so far to the Asian country in 2021/22.

French loadings are being closely monitored by traders this season given incomplete figures for France in official European Union grain export data due to a technical problem. France is the EU’s biggest grain exporter.

Grain shipments to all destinations from French ports last month – including barley, malting barley, maize, waxy maize, malt and durum wheat – totalled 1.36 million tonnes.
