Argentina's 2006/07 wheat sales totalled 8.805 million tonnes as of Friday (May 11), unchanged since March, the Agriculture Secretariat said Friday.

 

By this time last year Argentina had sold 5.87 million tonnes of 2005/06 wheat.

 

In March, the government closed the registry for new wheat exports in the face of soaring export declarations.
