10 Countries that Export the Most Wheat in the World

4. France

Exported value: $4.3 billion

France is predicted to export 18,35 million tons of wheat this year with shipments to EU countries and states outside Europe both falling by 440,000 and 200,000 tons retrospectively. The decline in export to the EU came as the result of stronger competition from the United Kingdom, which produced high-quality grain. Moreover, during the first months of 2015-2016 France sold far less wheat to countries which had been one of the leading importers of French wheat. The country shipped 51 percent less wheat to Morocco and 80 percent less grain to Egypt. Decreased international sale is expected to leave the country with end-of-season stockpile at the highest level since 1972. Finally, according to WTE, worth of wheat export declined by 36.9 percent between 2011 and 2015.
