→ IKAR in Mass Media → #324 IKAR in Mass MediaRussian grain prices keep declining - analysts16 марта 2011 года MOSCOW, March 14 (Reuters) - Russian grain prices kept declining slowly last week as the government sales intervention tenders continued, analysts said on Monday. Average prices declined by 50-100 roubles ($1.75-$3.49) per tonne, SovEcon agricultural analysts said in a weekly note. Third-grade wheat in the south of Russia declined to $225 per tonne from $229, fourth-grade to $213 from $217, feed wheat to $204 from $212, feed barley to $292 from $297, maize to $310 from $314, the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies (IKAR) said. "Grain owners in southern Russia are in panic, as grain stocks are unusually high for this time of a year, while the demand is blocked by ongoing interventions," it said in its weekly note. Prices for third grade wheat at the tenders were little changed from a week before, but fourth-grade wheat declined to 6,573.1 roubles per tonne from 6,603.5 roubles. "Price stagnation results from the fact that prices at the tenders are close to market prices in many regions," SovEcon said. Sunseed prices declined by 375 roubles to 19,875 roubles per tonne, and sunoil by 325 roubles to 45,500 roubles per tonne, SovEcon said. White sugar prices strengthened in the first half of last week as refineries prepared to start raw sugar processing, IKAR said. Then prices recoiled but were still higher than a week before at $1,115 per tonne compared to $1,093 in Krasnodar and at 31,700 roubles compared to 31,300.
