Australia June wheat exports at 2.8Mt up 9pc to year high
AUSTRALIA exported 2,820,989 tonnes of wheat and durum in June, up 9.4 per cent from 2,578,529t shipped in May, according to the latest export data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
The June figure represents a high for the 2020-21 (Oct-Sep) shipping year, and points to the competitiveness of Australian wheat into Asia prior to Northern Hemisphere new-crop hitting the market.
Australia’s biggest bulk market by far in June was Indonesia on 797,293t, followed by Vietnam on 318,722t, The Philippines on 309,540t, and China on 229,951t.
Shipments to Indonesia in June showed the biggest single-destination number for the shipping year so far, pipping China in December with 779,511t.
On containerised sales, Vietnam on 48,233t, Malaysia on 36,809t, and Indonesia on 25,232t were the volume destinations.
