UK imports more wheat in February

The UK imported more wheat in February at 123,746 tonnes, up from 112,585 tonnes in January but remains below last season's pace based on data from UK customs, Reuters reported.

Most of the imported wheat in February came from Denmark, with 64,390 tonnes shipped. This was followed by Germany with 40,222 tonnes.

The UK's cumulative imports totalled 1.31 million tonnes from the start of the 2021/22 season (since July 1, 2021), this is lower than the 1.70 million in the same period the year prior.

The UK has imported 327,437 tonnes of wheat from Denmark, the largest supplier in the 2021/22 season.

UK wheat imports are projected to decline this season after a bumper wheat harvest of 14.02 million tonnes last summer, 45.2% higher compared to the previous year.
