Australia exports 2.3Mt wheat in July

Australia exported tonnes of 2,333,793 tonnes of wheat, including durum, in July, according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data.

The figure is down slightly from 2,396,451t shipped in June, and is well above the 1,47,178t shipped in July 2024.

In containerised exports, Indonesia on 38,230t, Malaysia on 36,199t, and Thailand on 29,967t were the three biggest markets.

The three biggest bulk markets were Indonesia on 484,618t, The Philippines on 429,964t and South Korea on 257,429t.

According to Lachstock Consulting’s Australian Export Vessel Line-ups reports, both August and September looked likely to see around 2.45Mt wheat shipped.

Lachstock’s wheat supply-and-demand report issued September 4 points to the reason why exports into the last quarter of the Australian shipping year look unusually strong.

“Old-crop exports have accelerated, with buyers covering nearby demand as Russian delays created a window,” the report said.

In its September World Agricultural Supply and Demand estimates report, USDA added 3.5Mt to its forecast for new-crop Australian wheat, now at 34.5Mt for wheat.
