The monthly price of wheat (hard red winter) in the United States reached an all time high in May 2022, at over *** U.S. dollars per metric ton. The unprecedented price increase began in mid-2020, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and was later exacerbated by the Russo-Ukrainian War in March 2022. Before the war, Russia and Ukraine were among the world's five largest wheat exporters, and around one third of all international wheat imports came from these two countries. The increase of 96 dollars per ton between February and March 2022 was the single largest price hike in U.S. history, and was only the second time that prices had exceeded 400 dollars - the first time this happened was due to the financial crisis of 2008. In the five years before the Covid-19 pandemic, the price of wheat generally fluctuated between 150 and 230 dollars per ton.

Basis reflects both local and global supply and demand forces. It is calculated as the difference between the local cash price and the futures price. It affects when and where many grain producers and shippers buy and sell grain. Many factors affect basis—such as local supplies, storage and transportation availability, and global demand—and they interact in complex ways. How changes in basis manifest in transportation is likewise complex and not always direct. For instance, an increase in current demand will drive cash prices up relative to future prices, and increase basis. At the same time, grain will enter the transportation system to fulfill that demand. However, grain supplies also affect basis, but will have the opposite effect on transportation. During harvest, the increase in the supply of grain pushes down cash prices relative to futures prices, and basis weakens, but the demand for transportation increases to move the supplies.

For more information on how basis is linked to transportation, see the story, "Grain Prices, Basis, and Transportation" (https://agtransport.usda.gov/stories/s/sjmk-tkh6), and links below for research on the topic.

This data has corn, soybean, and wheat basis for a variety of locations. These include origins—such as Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and many others—and destinations, such as the Pacific Northwest, Louisiana Gulf, Texas Gulf, and Atlantic Coast.

This is one of three companion datasets. The other two are grain prices (https://agtransport.usda.gov/d/g92w-8cn7) and grain price spreads (https://agtransport.usda.gov/d/an4w-mnp7). These datasets are separate, because the coverage lengths differ and missing values are removed (e.g., there needs to be a cash price and a futures price to have a basis price).

The cash price comes from the grain prices dataset and the futures price comes from the appropriate futures market, which is Chicago Board of Trade (CME Group) for corn, soybeans, and soft red winter wheat; Kansas City Board of Trade (CME Group) for hard red winter wheat; and the Minneapolis Grain Exchange for hard red spring wheat.

The human segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

Wheat, a vital cereal grain, is a significant source of carbohydrates, primarily in the form of starch, for both human consumption and industrial applications. Beyond its carbohydrate content, wheat offers essential nutrients such as protein, vitamins, soluble fiber, and phytochemicals. Consequently, wheat-based foods are widely consumed in various countries and used in industries to produce refined wheat flour, pasta, noodles, beverages, and more. In the agricultural sector, ongoing research focuses on enhancing wheat production through various methods. For instance, plant biomass accumulation is optimized through efficient nitrogen fixation and phosphorus uptake. Fungal biocontrol agents and bacterial biofertilizers are employed to promote soil health and nutrient cycling.

Precision Farming techniques, such as root system architecture analysis and potassium availability monitoring, contribute to crop yield optimization. Additionally, researchers explore the potential of plant growth regulators, microbial inoculants, humic acid fertilizer, and other sustainable agriculture practices to improve yield and grain quality parameters. Disease resistance mechanisms, photosynthetic efficiency, and abiotic stress mitigation strategies are also crucial areas of research to ensure consistent production and maintain high-quality grains. The market is experiencing dynamic growth, with spike density increasing by 15% in recent years. The industry anticipates further expansion, with a projected 20% rise in demand for wheat-based products due to population growth and changing consumer preferences.
