Winter wheat sown areas in Russia will shrink to 15.4 million hectares in the 2025-2026 season, the lowest since the 2018-2019 season, Igor Pavensky, an analyst at Russian grain carrier Rusagrotrans, said on Wednesday. He added the estimate was for the area after overwintering. He also forecast total grain production in the 2025/26 season would reach around 133 million metric tons, including 84.5 million tons of wheat, exceeding the current season’s forecast of 123.8 million tons and 82 million tons, respectively.

The most-active wheat contract on the Chicago Board of Trade Wv1 was down 0.6% at $5.49 a bushel at 1151 GMT after falling to $5.45-1/4, lowest since Sept. 3.

Meanwhile, dry weather improved the sowing conditions in waterlogged Western Europe. Prices are nearing July’s four-year low of $5.14-1/2 but dealers said the scope for further losses appeared limited.
