PARIS: Soft wheat exports from the European Union in the 2022/23 season that started in July had reached 18.14 million tonnes by Jan. 22, data published by the European Commission showed on Tuesday.
The total so far this season was up 6% compared with 17.10 million tonnes shipped by the same week in 2021/22, the data showed.
EU barley exports so far in 2022/23 totalled 3.09 million tonnes, down 40% from 5.17 million a year ago, while EU maize imports were at 16.13 million tonnes, 81% above a year-earlier 8.91 million.
However, the Commission said that it was still experiencing problems compiling grain trade figures from Germany and Italy.
Export data submitted by Germany from November may be inaccurate following the country’s switch to a new declaration system, while for Italy import data was available only until the end of November, it said in a note.
The next weekly grain trade data will be published on Wednesday Feb. 1, a day later than usual, the Commission added.
