Rare drought hits North American spring wheat production areas, U.S. spring wheat production is expected to drop by 40%

Since the beginning of summer, nearly half of the United States has been in a dry state. Since the beginning of summer, nearly half of the United States has been in a dry state.

　　 Overseas Network, August 6 Foreign media reported that dry weather has caused crops to wither in the Canadian prairie and northern areas of the Great Plains, and these regions account for more than half of the total global supply. The U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts that the national spring wheat harvest will fall 41% from a year ago, the lowest yield in 33 years.

　　 According to Reuters news on the 5th, farmers in the United States and Canada estimated that a drought that has been rare in decades will lead to a sharp drop in the spring wheat harvest. Severe weather conditions have caused severe damage to crops, ranging from the extreme heat experienced by cherry-producing areas in the Pacific Northwest of the United States to frost in Brazil's sugarcane production areas. Although in general, the global wheat stock level is relatively high, the drought mainly affects the production of spring wheat with high protein content. Bruce Burnett, head of market and weather information at MarketsFarm, said that Canada's spring wheat production is expected to be between 16 million and 20 million tons, which is far lower than last year's 25.8 million tons. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also stated that the U.S. spring wheat harvest is expected to fall 41% from a year ago, the lowest yield in 33 years.

　　 reported that crop processing companies and baking companies rely on spring wheat to produce baked products that satisfy consumers. Therefore, importers must raise their bids to obtain a limited supply of North American spring wheat, or they will have to switch to suppliers from other countries such as Australia or Russia. Some international trading companies said that wheat importing countries may buy more wheat from other suppliers such as Australia to make high-quality bread and baked goods.

罕见大旱侵袭北美春麦产地 美国春麦预计减产达4成

入夏以来，近一半美国国土处干旱状态。入夏以来，近一半美国国土处干旱状态。

　　海外网8月6日电 外媒报道称，干旱天气导致加拿大大草原区和美国大平原北部地区作物枯萎，而这些地区的作物占全球总供应量的半数以上。美国农业部预计全美春小麦收成将比一年前下降41%，创33年来的最低产量。

　　据路透社5日消息，美国和加拿大农场主估计，几十年难遇的旱情将导致春小麦收成大幅下降。严峻的天气条件对作物造成严重伤害，从美国西北部太平洋沿岸地区樱桃产区遭遇的酷热，到巴西甘蔗产地面临的霜冻，不一而足。虽然总体而言，全球小麦库存水平较高，可干旱主要影响到蛋白质含量较高的春小麦产量。农业市场（MarketsFarm）的市场和天气信息主管伯内特（Bruce Burnett）表示，加拿大的春小麦产量预计在1600万到2000万吨之间，远远低于去年的2580万吨。美国农业部也称，美国春小麦收成预计将比一年前下降41%，创33年来的最低产量。

　　报道称，农作物加工企业和烘焙企业都要依靠春小麦来生产让消费者满意的烘培产品。因此，进口商必须提高出价以获得有限的北美春麦供应，否则就得转向澳大利亚或俄罗斯等其他国家的供应商。一些国际贸易公司表示，小麦进口国可能会从澳大利亚等其他供应国购买更多小麦，用于制作高品质的面包和烘焙食品。
