Grain exports from the French port of Rouen, Europe’s biggest cereal-shipping hub, fell 19 percent in the week ended yesterday as deliveries to Cuba and sub-Saharan Africa weren’t repeated.
Outbound grain amounted to 160,573 metric tons from Dec. 15 to Dec. 21, compared with 199,407 tons a week earlier, the Seine River port said in an e-mailed report today. Export cargoes included 149,383 tons of wheat.
