U.K. GRAIN EXPORTS CONTINUE TO RISE SHARPLY
The U.K. Exported 517,600 tonnes of wheat
and 315,800 tonnes of barley in the first 25 days of March, the
Home Grown Cereals Authority (HGCA) said, quoting provisional
Customs and Excise figures.
    This brought combined wheat and barley exports since the
season started on July 1 to 7.60 mln tonnes, substantially up
on the 4.02 mln exported in the same 1985/86 period.
    This season's total comprises 3.94 mln tonnes of wheat and
3.66 mln barley, compared with 1.63 mln and 2.39 mln,
respectively, a year ago.
