Russia, EU, and Australia export much of the wheat
Bread prices track Black Sea logistics and weather.
Three sellers dominate the world's wheat trade: Russia exports 22%, the European Union 20%, and Australia 12% in 2026, together 54% of global shipments. That concentration is why Black Sea logistics and weather can move bread prices far beyond the harvest. Canada, the US, and other exporters supply the remaining 46%.

Context
Russia's 22% share makes it the single largest wheat exporter, with the European Union at 20% and Australia at 12%. Together, the three account for 54% of global wheat exports in 2026.
Canada, the United States, and other exporters supply the remaining 46%, a long tail of origins that collectively outweighs any single seller but not the top three combined.
Figures come from USDA's PSD Online database. With so much supply concentrated in a few origins, bread prices tend to track Black Sea logistics and weather, so disruptions there can ripple through flour costs worldwide.
