Editor's Note:
Major wheat exporters, including Canada, Australia and the United States are experiencing low production estimates this year, mainly thanks to drought conditions. This has given Russia, which experienced a bumper crop this year, a major boost. Moscow has traditionally been a minor player in the Asian wheat markets, but Russian agricultural producers are following other sectors in pursuit of a foothold in the East.
