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.

In 2023/24, the retail price of common wheat in Germany was about ***** euros per 100 kilograms. This was a decrease compared to the year before. Figures fluctuated during the specified time period.

The monthly average price for normal wheat in Egypt amounted to 22.05 Egyptian pounds (0.71 U.S. dollars) per kilogram as of May 2023. During the period reviewed, the price was the highest ever recorded and increased slightly compared to the previous month, registering a growth of almost 1.9 percent. In November 2019, the average price dropped by one Egyptian pound and stayed constant until May 2020 before fluctuating and increasing in general. The previous relative stability in wheat prices was caused by the extensive involvement of the Egyptian government in all parts of the wheat value chain.   

A major crop for the Egyptians     

Grains constitute Egypt's most important crop group, with wheat as the most important grain of all. In 2021, the country produced nine million metric tons of the crop. Yet Egyptians consumed more than twice that number. The grain is fundamental to the Egyptian population's food staple. In order to meet a demand that is higher than the local production, the country imports the majority of its wheat. In fact, Egypt has held its position as the largest wheat importer globally for years.

Several shocks to the Egyptian grain market     

The increases in the crop's price since September 2021 were a result of several reasons. The increases in the global average price of cereals, as well as crops affected by weather conditions in major export nations were among the main causes. Furthermore, the Russia-Ukraine war has severe implications on the wheat supply globally and in Egypt. Both countries are leading wheat import partners of Egypt, aggregating 85 percent of the country's wheat imports in 2020. As of the same year, the volume of wheat imported from Russia stood at 14 million metric tons.

IntroductionThe combined populations of China and India were 2.78 billion in 2020, representing 36% of the world population (7.75 billion). Wheat is the second most important staple grain in both China and India. In 2019, the aggregate wheat consumption in China was 96.4 million ton and in India it was 82.5 million ton, together it was more than 35% of the world's wheat that year. In China, in 2050, the projected population will be 1294–1515 million, and in India, it is projected to be 14.89–1793 million, under the low and high-fertility rate assumptions. A question arises as to, what will be aggregate demand for wheat in China and India in 2030 and 2050?MethodsApplying the Vector Error Correction model estimation process in the time series econometric estimation setting, this study projected the per capita and annual aggregate wheat consumptions of China and India during 2019-2050. In the process, this study relies on agricultural data sourced from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States (FAO) database (FAOSTAT), as well as the World Bank's World Development Indicators (WDI) data catalog. The presence of unit root in the data series are tested by applying the augmented Dickey-Fuller test; Philips-Perron unit root test; Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin test, and Zivot-Andrews Unit Root test allowing for a single break in intercept and/or trend. The test statistics suggest that a natural log transformation and with the first difference of the variables provides stationarity of the data series for both China and India. The Zivot-Andrews Unit Root test, however, suggested that there is a structural break in urban population share and GDP per capita. To tackle the issue, we have included a year dummy and two multiplicative dummies in our model. Furthermore, the Johansen cointegration test suggests that at least one variable in both data series were cointegrated. These tests enable us to apply Vector Error Correction (VEC) model estimation procedure. In estimation the model, the appropriate number of lags of the variables is confirmed by applying the “varsoc” command in Stata 17 software interface. The estimated yearly per capita wheat consumption in 2030 and 2050 from the VEC model, are multiplied by the projected population in 2030 and 2050 to calculate the projected aggregate wheat demand in China and India in 2030 and 2050. After projecting the yearly per capita wheat consumption (KG), we multiply with the projected population to get the expected consumption demand.ResultsThis study found that the yearly per capita wheat consumption of China will increase from 65.8 kg in 2019 to 76 kg in 2030, and 95 kg in 2050. In India, the yearly per capita wheat consumption will increase to 74 kg in 2030 and 94 kg in 2050 from 60.4 kg in 2019. Considering the projected population growth rates under low-fertility assumptions, aggregate wheat consumption of China will increase by more than 13% in 2030 and by 28% in 2050. Under the high-fertility rate assumption, however the aggregate wheat consumption of China will increase by 18% in 2030 and nearly 50% in 2050. In the case of India, under both low and high-fertility rate assumptions, aggregate wheat demand in India will increase by 32-38% in 2030 and by 70-104% in 2050 compared to 2019 level of consumption.DiscussionsOur results underline the importance of wheat in both countries, which are the world's top wheat producers and consumers, and suggest the importance of research and development investments to maintain sufficient national wheat grain production levels to meet China and India's domestic demand. This is critical both to ensure the food security of this large segment of the world populace, which also includes 23% of the total population of the world who live on less than US $1.90/day, as well as to avoid potential grain market destabilization and price hikes that arise in the event of large import demands.

In this study, the development of the prices of grain, the staple food throughout Germany since the 17th century, is represented, starting from the end of the 18th century. This survey was carried out within the scope of a general historical examination on wholesale prices in Germany by the Reich Statistical Office (“Statistisches Reichsamt”) in cooperation with the German Institute for Economic Research (“Institut für Konjunkturforschung”). Since the records of prices for rye, wheat, barley, and oats available in the primary sources are incomplete as regards the whole length of the above-mentioned period, several values have been converted in order to make a comparison possible (conversion into German mark/Reichsmark per 1,000 kg). Furthermore, index numbers for the German grain prices have been calculated so that a continuous development becomes visible (base year: 1913 = 100). Apart from grain harvests and consumption in Germany since 1878/79, the study gives an overwiev of the foreign trade of rye, wheat, barley, and oats as well.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Entwicklung der Preise für das Hauptnahrungsmittel seit dem 17. Jahrhundert, das Getreide, in Deutschland seit dem Ausgang des 18. Jahrhunderts dargestellt. Die Arbeit ist im Zusammenhang mit einer allgemeinen historischen Untersuchung der deutschen Großhandelspreise entstanden, die gemeinsam vom Statistischen Reichsamt und dem Institut für Konjunkturforschung durchgeführt worden ist. Da die Aufzeichnungen der Preise für die Getreidesorten Roggen, Weizen, Gerste und Hafer aus den Primärquellen nicht für den gesamten Zeitraum in vergleichbarer Form vorliegen, sind die zu einem Vergleich erforderlichen Umrechnungen vorgenommen worden (in Mark bzw. Reichsmark je 1000kg). Ferner wurden Indexziffern der Getreidepreise in Deutschland berechnet, die den kontinuierlichen Verlauf der Entwicklung zeigen (Basisjahr: 1913 = 100). Neben der Getreideernte und den Getreideverbrauch in Deutschland seit 1878/79 berücksichtigt die Arbeit auch den Außenhandel für die Getreidesorten Roggen, Weizen, Gerste und Hafer.
