The Rusagrotrans analytical centre, which services Russian agricultural logistics, has stated that Russia exported 275,000 tonnes of wheat to China in the first eight months of the current agricultural year from July 2024 to February 2025. This has exceeded the volume of supplies from the United States to China for the first time.
Rusagrotrans stated that “China has sharply reduced imports in the current season, including from the United States, amid its own record harvest, and imported around 1 million tonnes from the main suppliers in the past 8 month, including 275,000 tonnes of wheat from Russia. For the first time, this is more than the volume that China imported from the United States at 147,000 tonnes.”
Canada shipped around 500,000 tonnes to China since the start of the season, with minor volumes exported from the European Union and Australia.
The top global wheat producers are China, India, Russia, the United States, and France.
Rusagrotrans also said that China has imposed a 15% tariff on wheat imports from the U.S. as of March 10 as a countermeasure against sanctions issued by the Trump administration. The US President is scheduled to meet with China’s President Xi Jinping, in Beijing, in June.
