For what it is worth, the Ukraine mainly used gluten strenghth as a
grading factor. As they enter the world market more, protein was
coming to the forefront (at least 4 years ago). Not sure on falling
number/other factors. Companies like SGS were doing a lot more work
in the Ukraine to allow better identification of buyer required attributes
and Ukraine grain matchup. Their grain handling system made this
difficult and little to no price signals to the farmer with the exception
of the extremely large farms who had their own grading capability and
those with supply ties to international grain multi nationals.
