Foreign supplies are projected to increase 2.4% over year to 984.2 million tons due to higher production in 2020/21. And 2020/21 world ending stocks are estimated to increase 5 percent to a record 310.1 million tons – with China accounting for 52 percent of the total. And yesterday Rabobank lowered its 12-month Chicago Board of Trade wheat price down 6 per cent from last month into the range $5.25 – $5.34 a bushel, citing positive production outlook.
