18 NEWS MILLER / SEPTEMBER 2019 ical parameters for exported parcels of new crop Milling Wheat as of August 5, 2019: As can be seen from the above, the average fig- ure for W is within acceptable range, yet lower than in the previous season. However, Min figure for W is a bit worrying for wheat with protein above 11.5%. Overall, this year Ukraine has more quantity wheat of milling quality and with proper storage conditions and wise preparation of export parcels; it can compete well with wheat of other origins. As to feed wheat, the situation could be charac- terized in the same way as for milling wheat, with a bit lower test weight results and quite high per- centage of bug-ridden grains, that probably caused the change of this wheat category from “Milling” to “Feed”, despite quite high protein content. At this, it cannot be excluded that such situation may create the potential risk in case of mixing of different wheat parcels of “Milling” and “Feed” grade during prepara- tion of export parcels, as high amount of bug-ridden grains may affect the quality of the whole parcel.
