tons.

Approximately 19.3% of all wheat globally goes into the feed market and resultantly the

Chicago corn / wheat spread has narrowed from US$2.30 / buschel to the current

US$1.49 / buschel.

India playing a larger role in export market – Indian production to reach 92.5 MMT, up

10% from 5-year average and second largest on record.

Local Wheat Drivers

Limited small crop – 1,751 million tons (need to import 49% of requirement) = import

parity driven

With record world crop produced, fairly good export competition keeping a lid on prices

(quality milling wheat less abundant).

Single largest driver of local prices is the weakening currency (Rand).
