This Week on SUNUP - Dr. Kim Anderson Examines the Reasons Why Wheat Prices Continue to Fall
Thu, 30 Mar 2017 17:28:35 CDT
This week on SUNUP, Oklahoma State University Grain Market Economist Dr. Kim Anderson talks wheat prices with host, Lyndall Stout, who begs the question as to why wheat prices have continued to fall this week more than $0.50 from $3.83 to now $3.30.
"I think the biggest reason this has happened is probably the crop conditions in the US and around the world," Anderson hypothesized.
He adds that excess stocks both domestically and globally continue to weigh on markets as well. Meanwhile, Anderson says too that with the advantage of geographical convenience and the ability to sell at lower prices, the former Soviet Union states are absorbing more and more market share from the US, exporting to large wheat consumers like Egypt and the Asian markets.
