🇩🇿 Algeria Buys Around 600,000 Tonnes Of Milling Wheat

📌 Key details:

• Buyer: OAIC, Algeria
• Commodity: milling wheat
• Estimated volume: around 600,000 tonnes
• Reported prices: approximately $326.00–$326.50/tonne C&F

📊 Market context:

The tender comes amid severe disruptions to Black Sea grain exports, with fighting bringing seaborne shipments of competitively priced Russian and Ukrainian wheat close to a standstill.

📉 However, wheat prices have eased from multi-year highs reached a month earlier. Increasing Russian exports through Baltic Sea ports have contributed to the decline, encouraging some importers to return to the market.

🇪🇺 Algeria remains an important wheat buyer for the European Union, although French wheat has reportedly been overlooked during the past two years amid diplomatic tensions between Algeria and France.

📌 Previous tender: In mid-September, OAIC purchased approximately 500,000 tonnes at $319–$321/tonne C&F.
