UK Has Exported More Than 3 MMT Wheat This MY

The UK had exported 3.04 MMT of wheat, and 737,000 MT of barley in the current marketing year up to the end of April, according to latest customs figures.

That leaves 660,000 MT of wheat still to be exported in May & June to reach Defra's projected target for the year of 3.7 MMT. That might be a tall order given that the volume shipped out in April was only a little over 200,000 MT.

We are in line however to hit the projected annual barley export estimate of 860,000 MT.

The majority of the wheat exported in April went to Spain, Portugal and Holland.
