Track the current wheat price in €/t from the MATIF Paris and CBoT Chicago exchanges and learn what the purchase price of wheat depends on — for milling and feed wheat. At Feliz s.r.o. we buy wheat from Slovak and European farmers at fair market prices, with our own logistics straight from your farm.

Prices are indicative exchange quotations (converted at the EUR/USD rate, about 15 min delayed) — they serve neither as a binding purchase price nor as investment advice. We will gladly confirm your specific purchase price for wheat based on an inquiry.
In Central Europe the wheat price is driven mainly by two world exchanges — MATIF in Paris (Euronext, milling wheat), the reference for the European market, and CBoT in Chicago, which sets the tone for global trade. We convert both quotations at the current EUR/USD rate into euros per tonne (€/t), because that is exactly how wheat is bought and sold in Slovakia.
It is important to distinguish between the exchange and the purchase price of wheat. The exchange price is the world reference quotation shown in the table above. The purchase price is the amount you actually receive when selling — it starts from the exchange, but is adjusted by the quality of your harvest, the volume, the delivery date and the transport costs to the place of processing. That is why two seemingly identical wheat deliveries can sell at different prices.
Several factors act on the final wheat price at once. Understanding these influences helps you better judge the right time to sell your harvest:
MATIF Paris and CBoT Chicago set the reference price. Their movements immediately affect purchase prices in Slovakia too.
Since world trade runs in dollars, a weaker euro against the dollar usually lifts the wheat price in €/t, and vice versa.
Milling (food-grade) wheat with higher protein and falling number is more expensive than feed wheat. Quality is the strongest lever in your hands.
Estimates of world production, the weather in key regions and the state of stocks change the supply-and-demand balance — and with it the price.
Interest from mills, feed producers and exporters (e.g. via the Black Sea ports) decides how quickly the harvest is sold.
The distance to loading, transport availability and delivery date influence how much of the exchange price remains in the purchase price.
The wheat price is influenced above all by its quality. Below are indicative parameters that decide classification as milling or feed wheat. Exact limits vary by buyer and vintage.
| Parameter | Milling wheat | Feed wheat |
|---|---|---|
| Protein | ≥ 11.5 – 13.0 % | no strict requirement |
| Falling number (Hagberg) | ≥ 220 – 250 s | — |
| Specific weight | ≥ 76 – 78 kg/hl | ≥ 72 kg/hl |
| Moisture | ≤ 14 % | ≤ 14 % |
| Impurities | ≤ 2 % | higher tolerance |
| Price level | higher | lower |
Tip: Before selling, have a wheat analysis done (moisture, protein, falling number, specific weight). With precise parameters we can give you a more specific and usually better purchase price — and you avoid deductions on delivery.
Milling wheat goes to mills to make flour and must therefore meet stricter parameters — above all sufficient protein, falling number and specific weight. This earns it a higher price. Feed wheat goes into feed production, where quality requirements are lower, and is therefore cheaper. The difference between the price of milling and feed wheat changes with mill demand and the quality of the vintage and is usually a few to several tens of euros per tonne.
Besides ordinary soft wheat we also buy hard wheat (durum) and spelt. Durum wheat is used mainly for pasta and semolina and, at good quality (vitreousness, protein), usually achieves a higher price than milling soft wheat. If you grow durum or spelt, state it in your inquiry — we will prepare an offer tailored to the specific type.
The wheat price has a pronounced seasonal component. The greatest pressure on the price usually comes during the harvest (July – August), when a large volume of new crop enters the market at once and stores are full. In the following months, as the supply is gradually sold off, the price may recover. The decision to "sell right after the harvest or store and wait" therefore affects your result — but also weigh the costs and risks of storage (drying, losses, tied-up capital).
A few practical steps to help you get a better price for wheat:
We are a Slovak company with more than 20 years of experience in trading agricultural commodities. We buy wheat directly from growers in Central Europe.
We work from the world commodity markets — without unnecessary intermediaries that would eat into your price.
We arrange transport straight from your farm — by lorry and full train sets, regardless of volume.
After taking over and confirming the delivery, we pay the agreed amount within short, pre-set terms.
From every delivery we take a representative sample — precise measurement means fair settlement for both sides.

The most common questions from farmers about the current and purchase price of wheat.
We show the current exchange price of wheat in €/t continuously in the Current price section — it is based on the MATIF Paris and CBoT Chicago exchanges, converted at the EUR/USD rate (about 15 min delayed). This is an indicative quotation; we confirm the specific purchase price for your harvest usually within 24 hours of a no-obligation inquiry.
Milling (food-grade) wheat must meet stricter parameters — higher protein, falling number and specific weight — and therefore achieves a higher price than feed wheat. The exact difference depends on current mill demand and the quality of the particular harvest.
On the quotations on the MATIF Paris and CBoT Chicago exchanges, on the EUR/USD rate, on quality (protein, falling number, specific weight, moisture, impurities), on the volume, delivery date and the distance to loading.
Most often in euros per tonne (€/t). World exchanges quote wheat in USD or EUR per tonne, or in cents per bushel (CBoT), which is why we convert the prices at the EUR/USD rate into €/t.
Fill in a no-obligation inquiry (volume, quality, region) and we will confirm the fair purchase price usually within 24 hours. We also arrange sampling, quality control and transport straight from your farm.
Send us a no-obligation inquiry with the volume, quality and region. We will prepare a fair purchase price for wheat usually within 24 hours — including transport straight from your farm.
