The International Grains Council (IGC) is an intergovernmental organisation concerned with grains trade. It administers the Grains Trade Convention, 1995. The IGC Secretariat, based in London since 1949, also services the Food Aid Committee, established under the Food Aid Convention 1999. Many of IGC's information services are made available to subscribers.
Grain Market Report: After the previous month’s steep increases, spurred partly by gains in other commodities and equities, international grain and oilseed prices fell back heavily in June, triggered by speculative and technical selling in US futures markets.
The world grains production forecast is cut by a further 6m. tons in June to 1,715m., 66m. below the 2008 record. Reductions in the EU and Argentina, because of insufficient rain, and in North America following overly wet conditions more than offset improved prospects in Russia, Kazakhstan and China.
