... in a move to ease eu market pressures, the commission has announced that it is to suspend import duties on low and medium quality wheat and barley from next week until the end of june ... the suspension is a response to "tight supplies in world cereals markets” said the eu, with the preferential tariffs of 12 €/tonne and 16 €/tonne for wheat and barley respectively to be reduced to zero for the volumes permitted under the quota while grain prices have risen worldwide, those in europe have grown particularly fast, inflated by the region's relatively thin export surplus, compared with the us, and its geographical position ... multiple production setbacks in germany, russia and canada compounded by the recent flooding in australian have sorely reduced milling wheat quantities ... and european wheat prices have seen impressive rallying with new contract highs being set by the matif exchange

... china has been a sporadic importer of canadian wheat, buying nearly 2 ... the agreement, mainly for high-quality spring wheat, used in baking, partly reflects poor growing conditions for china's domestic crop, such as drought in the south and cool temperatures in the north, said bruce burnett, director of weather and market analysis for the wheat board ... 2 wheat producer after the european union ... "that's a significant increase in their imports and over our history, they have been a very valuable market for our wheat in western canada ... " the poor growing weather will likely keep china's wheat from reaching its best quality and yield, but not cause a major production shortfall, he said ... but the wheat board will not have trouble finding enough supply for china unless the weather gets even worse, burnett said ... china usually gets most of its imported wheat from australia and the united states, but bigger canadian shipments won't necessarily displace some of those sales, burnett said ...

... winter wheat and barley crop production is likely to be higher this year despite recent rains ensuring the harvest will not quite meet expectations ... current summer cropping, however, is weaker than last year, with total wheat planting area forecast to decline by nine per cent ... “a lack of rainfall over the summer cropping regions in northern new south wales and southern queensland has resulted in little grain sorghum planting so far,” said dr terry sheales, deputy executive director, abare, on releasing the december issue of the australian crop report ... “conditions deteriorated over spring in western australia, queensland and, in particular, central west and southern new south wales ... cropping regions in western australia were affected by lack of rain toward the end of spring and, as a result, production has been revised down from earlier expectations ... ” partially offsetting these declines were improved growing conditions across cropping regions in south australia and victoria, where average rainfall was recorded over spring ... “however, with harvest still underway in these states and western australia, recent rains may affect the quality of the harvest,” dr sheales advised ... wheat production is estimated at 22 million tonnes, lower than abare’s september forecast, but 5 per cent higher than 2008-09 production ... barley production is estimated at around 8

... as a result, key crops such as canola, wheat and barley are under pressure

... using information from the publicly available rice genome sequence, researchers at the commonwealth scientific and industrial research organisation (csiro) were able to isolate the 'semi-dwarfing' ( sd-1 ) gene, and develop 'perfect' markers to identify it ... team leader, dr wolfgang spielmeyer, claimed that isolating the gene will speed up the process of breeding new rice varieties and help to identify semi-dwarfing genes in other cereal crops like wheat ... according to a csiro statement the semi-dwarf varieties were less likely to fall over and responded better to nitrogen fertilisers ... the csiro scientists claim that the development of a perfect market will fast-track breeding of new rice varieties and enable breeders to screen for the semi-dwarfing gene at a much earlier stage of plant development, saving valuable time and resources ... "we will be able to use our knowledge of the sd-1 gene to study and isolate related gene sequences that are responsible for semi-dwarfing in other cereal crops such as wheat and barley
