Australian wheat exports picked up by 19% in July after a drop in June, led by significantly increased shipments into Indonesia and Yemen, while barley and canola flow dropped, according to monthly data from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES), published on Friday September 6.

The slowdown in animal fats demand was caused by various reasons, including the oversupply of feedstocks, cheap biofuels tickets and negative production margins, sources told Fastmarkets Wednesday.

The drop was influenced by high freight rates and an ongoing European Commission fraud investigation.

Fastmarkets has corrected its assessment of the AG-SYB-0022 Soybean FOB US PNW $/mt, which was published incorrectly on Wednesday August 21.

Fastmarkets will not publish any price assessments for wheat, barley, corn, vegoils and meals for Europe, Ukraine and Russia, nor Black Sea sunflower, on Monday August 26 due to holidays in Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

The UK government’s first release of provisional biofuel data for the calendar year to the end of July 2024, published on Wednesday August 14, reveals a notable decline in renewable fuel activity compared with the same period last year.
