UK export activity
Wheat exports
Wheat exports account for 15 – 20 per cent of the annual UK crop, with around two million tonnes exported each year. The 2010/11 season saw the UK exporting almost double the export surplus, demonstrating the strong demand for UK wheat. A large proportion of UK wheat exports are varieties used by overseas customers for milling.
