Russia may stop selling wheat for a few weeks to anyone except its neighbors, as shipments from the world’s top exporter look set to reach a three-month limit well before the quota expires at the end of June.
Traders are sending Russian grain cargoes abroad so fast that they could reach the allowed limit in mid-May, according to the Agriculture Ministry. That would mean most customers turning elsewhere to buy supplies, including Russia’s main rivals in global wheat markets -- the European Union and the U.S.
