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.

This study shows the development of the price of cereals, the principal food since the 17th century, using the example of Berlin. The research was carried out by the Reich Statistical Office (Statistisches Reichsamt) and the Institut für Konjunkturforschung (German Institute for Economic Research) within the scope of a general historical study project focusing on German wholesale prices.

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.
