Milling Wheat The Black Sea market was firmer last week in sympathy with the CBOT and Matif futures. Russia has exported about 33.8 MMT thus far in the current campaign against an expected total of 34.5-35 MMT. The weather in that country and Ukraine may not be perfect everywhere for wheat development, but there is nothing worrisome for the time being. The crops are estimated at 80-83 MMT in Russia and 27-29 MMT in Ukraine. The EU has exported 18.4 MMT so far versus 18.6 MMT at the same time last year. With six weeks remaining until the end of the campaign, the total for 2018/19 is expected to be very similar to last year’s 20.5 MMT.

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.
