Russia, the world’s largest wheat exporter, has produced some highest quality wheat for the first time since the start of this season as a dry summer boosted protein content, officials said on Friday.
For now, the inspected part of the crop shows 43.7% of wheat of third class, up from 32.0% in 2020, while
the share of fourth-class wheat is at 41.8% vs 40.3% in 2020. However those percentages are so high for now, as harvesting is still underway.
Meantime Russian growers harvested some first-class wheat with 14.5% protein content this year for the first time since 1984.
Thus its expect a harvest of exceptional quality this season.
