Ukraine's Farm Ministry said on Friday the share of milling wheat in the 2011 wheat harvest had reached 70 percent as of August 18 compared to about 60 percent a month earlier. "The proportion of milling wheat amounts to 70 percent against 30 percent of feed wheat," the ministry said in a statement.
The ministry gave no explanation for the change in the grain quality. But analysts, weather forecasters and traders have said the share of food wheat was much smaller as poor weather during the harvesting affected the quality.
