Grain Prices
World benchmark and regional prices for the main cereals. Each crop page has its full price history, regional markets and supply data.
Each price is shown in its product's own benchmark unit and for the latest period available, so values of different products are not directly comparable. Open a product page for other currencies and units.
What moves these prices
Grain prices follow the size of harvests in a few large exporting regions, the stocks left over from earlier crops, energy and fertilizer costs, exchange rates and export or import policies. Wheat and corn are traded worldwide in large volumes, rice far less, so regional prices can move apart from the world price.
