Ukrainian milling wheat export prices remained unchanged over the past week, while feed wheat added around $3 per tonnes thanks to a delay in the harvest and a lack of offers from growers, analyst APK-inform said on Monday.
Feed wheat cost $200-$203 per tonnes FOB Black Sea as of the end of last week, the consultancy said in a report, according to Agriculture.com. Milling wheat with 12.5% protein was traded at between $209 and $212 per tonne FOB Black Sea.
The consultancy said on Saturday that the share of milling wheat in Ukraine's overall wheat harvest may drop to around 40%. Analysts and traders last year said the share of milling wheat was likely to rise to as much as 70% in 2019.
