European Union - Slowdown in grain imports
With just 1.5 million tonnes bought so far this season compared with 2mt in 2009/10 and 3mt 2008/09, grain imports into the EU-27 are currently way below normal,while exports remain strong as the world struggles to source grains in Russia's absence from the market.
