“… Russian production estimates remain a hot topic, with some suggesting the crop is closer to 75 million metric tons [mmt] than the most recent USDA estimate of 83 mmt,” says Angie Setzer, partner at Consus Ag Consulting. “The 8-mmt [295 million bushels] difference would have major implications on the country’s export outlook, with thoughts that overall exportable supplies could fall by over 10 mmt [367 million bushels] from last year, opening the door for fresh business to be done by other world exporters. However, the prices at which Russian exporters are privately offering supplies are well below public values, and continue to undercut the cash market, keeping buyers on the sidelines.”
