Wheat buyers from the Middle East/Mediterranean region and North Africa are switching their wheat purchases to various European countries to replace their supplies from the Black Sea, according to traders.
“It is hard to put a figure on the total, but I think we are talking about hundreds of thousands of tons sold this week,” said a trader.
Traders say wheat export sales came from Romania, Bulgaria, France, Germany and Poland. Wheat is also being transported to Germany from the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia. There are concerns about local supplies of wheat being depleted in Bulgaria.
