Wheat Market Dynamics and Trends

  • Demand for bread was stimulated by the introduction of hard wheat and new milling techniques that changed the quality of the flour. As hard wheat has a higher protein content, they were better suited for making bread than soft wheat.

  • On the other side, the weather continues to affect global wheat production. According to U.S. Wheat Associates in 2018, global wheat production falls to the lowest level in 5 years at 733 million metric tons (MMT), down 3% from the record high of 758 MMT.

  • This downturn is, unfortunately, led by decreasing supplies in historical wheat exporters may act as a roadblock to the growth of the market.

Wheat Market Segmentation Analysis

  • Hard wheat has more protein, including more gluten, which makes it purposeful to bake bread, while soft wheat has a much lower protein content, which when milled produces ‘cake flour’ for sweet biscuits and cakes.
