Notable price events

  • 2007-08 global food price crisis — Drought in major exporting countries, combined with several governments restricting exports to protect domestic supply and growing demand for biofuel crops, pushed wheat, rice and corn to what were then record prices within about a year - triggering food riots in over 30 countries.
  • Russia's invasion of Ukraine — Russia's February 2022 invasion cut off two of the world's largest wheat and corn exporters and most of its sunflower oil supply almost overnight, while sanctions and blocked Black Sea shipping routes hit Russian fertilizer exports too - sending prices sharply higher within days across all four commodities at once, a rare case of one event moving so many markets simultaneously.
  • Russia's 2010 drought and grain export ban — Russia's worst drought in decades destroyed about a fifth of its wheat fields. On 5 August 2010 the government announced a ban on grain exports from 15 August, later extended into mid-2011, and US wheat futures jumped almost $1 a bushel to near two-year highs on the news.

Wheat Prices by Region

About Wheat

One of the most widely grown cereal grains, used mainly for bread, pasta and other flour-based foods, and as animal feed. The EU, China, India, Russia and the US are the largest producers; Russia and Ukraine together account for a large share of global exports, which is why the war in Ukraine caused sharp price spikes from 2022 onward - echoing the 2007-08 food price crisis, when drought in major exporting countries and several governments' export restrictions pushed wheat to what was then a record price. Not all wheat is interchangeable: hard varieties with more protein go into bread flour, soft varieties into cakes and pastries, and the futures markets trade several classes separately for exactly this reason. Prices are driven mainly by harvest weather in major growing regions, export policy, and demand for animal feed.
