Downward adjustments were made to wheat imports due to a shift away from feedwheat use to yellow corn consumption in MY 2013/14. Although provisional tariffs have been imposed on Turkish flour imports, its effect on trade will be more evident after a final verdict is reached on September 2014. Corn imports were raised as production was pared down in MY 2013/14 to reflect similar adjustments made to area harvested during the year. Rice output was also adjusted downwards in MY 2013/14 even as rice imports were less than expected. Rice prices continue to increase as a result.
