10 Countries that Export the Most Wheat in the World

6. Germany

Exported value: $2.4 billion

Farmers in Germany, which is the second largest wheat producer in the EU, planted less wheat in 2016, and it is expected that total crop yield will fall, by 3.7 percent compared to the previous year, to 25.57 million tons. Germany, which is also the second largest EU exporter, struggled in 2015 to reach shipment from the previous year due to strong competition from the Baltics and Black Sea regions. Lithuanian and Latvian recorded good harvest and were able to offer the crop at lower prices, thus recapturing markets from Germany, mainly in Algeria and Saudi Arabia.
