Russian wheat export region hit by lack of rain

Farmers in Russia's Rostov region, one of the most important for wheat exports, face flat or lower wheat yields this year due to a lack of rain last autumn and the current hot weather may worsen the situation without more rain in the coming weeks.Rostov is the second southern region affected by a lack of moisture after Krasnodar, the main region for wheat exports via Black Sea to North Africa and the Middle East.
