The share of milling wheat in Ukraine’s 2023 wheat crop could fall to 40% from 70% in previous years because of poor weather, the Ukrainian Agrarian Council (UAC) said, warning of “problematic” global food-grade supplies.

UAC said, “The key problem with the new harvest was its poor quality. Due to weather conditions, the grain has a low protein content.” The council added that other European states also had a large volumes of feed wheat and 2023-24 “will be problematic with the supply of food grains worldwide.”
