The development of the world market additionally pressure the prices. Besides, the prices were pressured by some increase of farmers’ sales and moderate demand from traders, who mainly suspended purchases of wheat due to low external demand and gradual approach of the exported volumes to the limit set in the memorandum”, - the head of the local markets department of APK-Inform, Anna Tanskaya commented.
