Uruguay runs out of wheat and imported from Brazil for the first time

The wheat price stampede that caused the Russian invasion of Ukraine found the producers of Uruguay with freshly harvested grain. The avidity of the countries that cannot be self-sufficient has led to notable exports. So much so that since wheat has been scarce for months and so on first time in history Uruguay has imported wheat grain from Brazil. It is the opposite of what usually happened, given that Brazil has been a traditional buyer of Uruguayan wheat. This also speaks of the productive growth of the northern country, historically one of the world’s largest importers of winter grain.
