Egypt has purchased hundreds of thousands of tons of wheat in recent weeks, with deliveries planned for July and August, according to Reuters sources. The wheat comes from Romania, Ukraine and Russia, and estimates of the volume of purchases range from 300,000 to 1 million tons, with prices between $250 and $258 per ton. Egypt's purchases fell sharply in the first part of the year, and the country remains a major global buyer of wheat, essential for subsidizing bread.
