In early June 2015, Argentina announced the authorization to export 1 million tonnes of wheat and 100 000 tonnes of flour. The opening of this quota has raised the export quota of wheat in the current marketing year 2014/15 (December/November) to 4.7 million tonnes, representing so far a 147 percent increase of exports from total exports last marketing year (2013/14). The measure aims at exporting surplus wheat once domestic demand is fulfilled.
