Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the wheat and meslin market in the Americas showed notable fluctuations. The market volume grew to 110.3 million metric tons in 2019 but fell sharply to 96.2 million metric tons in 2020. This drop aligned with a global increase in fertilizer prices, driven by rising natural gas and coal costs, which raised production expenses for wheat growers.

After a partial recovery in 2021, the market contracted again in 2022 to 92.5 million metric tons. The Russia-Ukraine conflict that year disrupted key wheat exports from the Black Sea region, causing supply shortages and price volatility that affected trade flows and consumption in the Americas.

By 2023, the market rebounded strongly to 111.4 million metric tons as wheat prices eased from their 2022 peak and global supply chains adjusted. Continued volatility in fertilizer markets and energy costs remained a background influence throughout the period.
