The first convoy, made up of 105 wagons carrying 3rd and 4th category wheat, departed Kazakhstan on April 30.
The annual survey gathered data from 142 countries and 28,235 feed mills.

Prices are expected to edge down further into 2026, constrained by trade uncertainty and modest global consumption growth.
The project aims to develop sustainable, climate-smart rice production systems that enhance both yield quality and quantity to meet millers’ needs.
