Russian Grain Markets: 16-20 July 2018 The domestic grain market was dominated by new crop production. Although harvesting in many regions was interrupted by rains, most of the grains sold in Black Sea and Volga Valley were harvested this year. The difference between the old and new crop prices is not that significant this year due to growing export prices. Milling wheat export prices rose +$6.00/MT to $208/MT FOB Black Sea, and purchase prices at seaports increased in RUB expression to $165-170/MT CPT-Black Sea port.

From WPI Consulting
Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
