What milling wheat is
Milling wheat is food-grade wheat. A mill buys it for how it behaves in the mill and in the dough, so the contract says much more than the word wheat: it sets the quality the cargo must meet.
Buyers usually start from the flour they need to make. Bread flour, flat bread, pasta and biscuits call for different wheat, so the specification comes from the mill and not from a general price list.
What a contract usually specifies
These parameters are the ones most often agreed. We publish no generic figures: the values come from your requirements and the supplier's actual specification.
Protein
Sets dough strength and the kinds of flour a mill can make. For feed, it is the main nutritional value.
Moisture
Affects safe storage and how much dry matter you actually pay for.
Test weight
Weight per volume: a quick sign of sound grain and good flour yield.
Wet gluten
Shows how much of the protein gives bread its structure.
Falling number
Reveals sprout damage, which weakens baking quality.
Foreign matter
Non-wheat material that lowers yield and must be cleaned out.
Why buyers look at Russian origin
Russian wheat is widely traded across the Mediterranean and North Africa, and it reaches those ports by a comparatively short sea route from the Black Sea. For Egypt, USDA reports competitive prices, lower freight costs and faster shipping than alternative suppliers.
The goods are Russian origin and every document says so. We deal only in grain from the internationally recognised territory of Russia, loaded at ports on that territory.
