What to expect from prices in the CIS countries?

Representatives of this region are the main exporters of flour milling wheat on the world market. In Ukraine, snow cyclones have become one of the reasons for the difficulties of promoting logistics operations. Also, the cost of wheat and flour was affected by strong demand from traders in the absence of sufficient raw materials to meet their needs. Statistics show a 10% increase in the price tag compared to last year. The prices for flour milling wheat in the Russian Federation, on the contrary, can not hold up to last year's indicators.

This indicates a balanced state of the supply-demand relationship and the relative stability of local currencies.
