The 3-month export will be the biggest for the past 10 years – since the period between December 2007 and February 2008. 6.8 mln tons of wheat were exported then.

About 1/3 of the total, 1.4 mln tons, were exported to the usual customer, Brazil. Brazil and Argentina are part of the MERCOSUR Union. Wheat import from non-MERCOSUR countries is taxed by 10%.

About 3.25 mln tons of wheat will be delivered to countries from Africa and Southeastern Asia which are not key buyers.
