Wheat Market Worries About The Future Of Gluten-Rich Varieties

Global grain, especially wheat, stockpiles have never been higher, and recent harvests have been abundant. But agricultural experts say the quality of the harvests has been disappointing. There has been a dearth of high-protein – that’s right, gluten-rich – crops and prices have climbed. Agricultural experts who have been watching global winter and spring wheat production are worried. Adverse weather and other stressful conditions in certain parts of the world are lowering production forecasts. "Not all wheat is created the same," said one observer. "It looks like protein's going to be very dear again this year."
