Loading Moscow Exchange indices and prices and IDK.RU listings...
There is no single “Russia-wide” wheat price. It depends on class, region and where the lot is going. So there are two views here. The first is trades of elevators and processors on the Moscow Exchange: who pays how much per tonne delivered to their site. The second is indices: the NTB exchange wheat index with CPT Novorossiysk delivery and the Moscow Exchange OTC FOB export indices for wheat, barley and corn. The indices are updated on business days.
The difference between them can be noticeable. A tonne of the same class 3 wheat at an elevator in the Black Earth region and at a buyer near Novorossiysk may differ by several thousand rubles: the second price already includes the haul. So before deciding whether an offer is good, look at the delivery basis — a figure without it says little.
Price is half of a deal. Who sells the crop you need in your region is visible in the fresh declarations in the declaration search. Farms with sown areas and phones are collected in the farm database. And if you want to know why wheat prices behave this way this season, see our article on wheat prices in 2026 (in Russian).
Exchange prices are trades of elevators and processors on the Moscow Exchange spot market with CPT delivery, that is, delivered to their site. Indices are the NTB exchange wheat index with CPT Novorossiysk delivery and the Moscow Exchange OTC FOB indices for wheat, barley and corn. When there are fresh buy and sell listings, they are shown in a separate table.
The price depends on class and protein, region and how far it is to a port or a large processor. An elevator in a remote area pays less because it has to pay for the longer haul to the buyer. Sometimes a bid hangs at a high price but for a small volume: treat it as a guide, not a guarantee.
EXW — the grain is picked up from your warehouse and transport is on the buyer. CPT — you deliver the lot to the buyer's elevator or plant yourself. FOB — the grain is already loaded on a ship in the port. The closer the basis is to the port, the higher the price, so it only makes sense to compare offers on the same basis.
Sellers often quote two figures: with VAT and without it — the market calls the second one the “cash” price. VAT on grain in Russia is 10%, so the price without tax is usually about 9% lower. Check this with the seller before comparing offers.
