Over here, the masses just buy at grocery stores....they don't need farmers.

"so that he get's a better return on the grain he stole from Ukraine."

apparently Russia needs 60+ new ships to haul it away in the coming years.

"Sources later told Reuters that Russia had no plans to halt
wheat exports but wanted exporters to ensure prices paid to
farmers were high enough to cover average production costs."

Since the invasion began - 4 MMT of wheat has been lost in UKR.
Russia grew 92 MMT of wheat last year.


Try thinking once...or is that capacity used up to breathe?

Funny why you didn't include this information from Reuters as well Weber. I guess you couldn't provide the two links at the same time as the office cell phone screen wasn't big enough.


"Ukraine’s 2023 grain harvest is likely to fall to 44.3 million tonnes from 53.1 million in 2022 as less acreage is sown due to the Russian invasion, a forecast by the Ukrainian agriculture ministry showed on Monday."

Plus the 4 million tonnes Putin stole that you mentioned above.

That should improve Putin's farmers (Oligarchs) bottom line which will keep Putin's bank account full. Probably makes you job a little easier in a raising market as well.

Have a great day!

What is the state of Russian wheat production? I know they have a ton of land but a lot of it is marginal. I get the sense it could be best serviced with Canadian prairies or Australian type equipment and farming practices but presently more labour and rudimentary farming methods outside of the better areas where western investment was present. Anyone have a concrete idea other than third hand knowledge?

Money never used to slosh around like that 25 yrs ago. Globalization has made that possible. These big sums will be stuck in tech for a few weeks, then switch over to consumer discretionary, or precious metals, or to china and back, USDT, etc. Rinse and repeat.

Sometimes at night they park them in a forex trade or reverse repo facility with the fed. Creates lots of volatility.

Follow the money?

I'm sure the farm equipment Russian soldiers stole from Ukrainian farmers was a great way to escape from the front lines and reduced the work load for those high quality Belarus and Don that are used in Russia.

At least we know Minsk will be protect by the nukes that are coming.

Yes, Putin does care about his Russian Oligarchs, oh I mean farmers.

As for the farm land, why wouldn't Putin want to add the best farm land in Europe to his wet dream empire.
