Market Watch: Russia, Ukraine surging in global grain markets Fueled by record harvests, Russia and Ukraine are expected to surge to the top ranks of the global export markets for wheat and corn in the coming years, a development that will open up new investment opportunities in commodities and equities.

The surge in Russia, which will see its exports of wheat explode to more than 20 million metric tons this year from four million in the 2010-2011 year, is powered by robust production and inventory, rising global demand and lower domestic prices. Meanwhile, Ukraine will jump into the top ranks of corn exporters thanks to favorable climate changes, rising demand and higher prices. A weaker U.S. harvest is also expected to help.
