Ukraine to introduce new wheat quality standards
KIEV, UKRAINE — The Ukraine Agricultural
Ministry said on May 22 that the country
will introduce new wheat quality standards
in June.

The standards will be presented in early
June and will become effective June 10.
The ministry previously has stated that it
would reduce the number of wheat classes
from the current six to four. The plan is for
soft wheat to have three milling classes
and feed wheat to have one. One of the
world's largest exporters of grain, Ukraine
is forecast to export 16.5 million tonnes of
wheat in 2018-19, which would rank fifth in
the world.

 Pakistan flour group warns of supply crisis

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN — The Pakistan Flour Mills Association (PFMA) is warning of a flour crisis in the country if the government
doesn't stop impounding cars carrying bags of wheat, according to the Business Recorder.

The association has written letters to the chief minister highlighting the possible crisis and asking for a meeting. It has threatened
to stop supplying flour to the market.PFMA said the food department confiscated the cars carrying wheat in order to meet its
procurement target set by the government.

The food department has responded by saying warnings of a flour crisis is propaganda and said it would ensure the supply of flour
at all costs. Government officials said allegations by the PFMA are baseless.

biggest barriers to entry for many farmers. A field that was

the time, energy and money necessary to farm organically
without getting the payoff of that premium price.
