Wheat prices increased significantly
The grain price index averaged 170.1 points in March, driven mainly by a sharp rise in wheat and coarse grain prices due to the war in Ukraine. The agency downgraded its estimate of this year’s world wheat crop from last year’s forecast of 790 million tonnes to 784 million tonnes on Friday. (MTI)
