Russian Milling Wheat 12.5% Protein Supplier

Demetra Trading is a Russian milling wheat supplier offering bulk wheat with minimum 12.5% protein, FOB Black Sea and Baltic export terminals. Wheat 12.5% is one of the most widely traded milling wheat grades in the international grain market — valued for stable gluten characteristics, consistent baking performance and broad acceptance by flour mills, food processors and grain importers in North Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia.

Milling applications and quality parameters

Flour mills use 12.5% protein wheat for bread flour, all-purpose blending flour and general bakery lines where gluten strength and falling number support predictable dough behaviour. Standard export parameters: protein min 12.5% (dry basis), moisture max 14%, test weight min 76 kg/hl, foreign matter max 2%, damaged grain max 3–4%, falling number typically ≥250. Buyers often reference GOST classification alongside protein — see our guide on Russian wheat quality standards for how protein, gluten and falling number interact in contract clauses. Higher-protein alternatives in our catalog include milling wheat 13.5% for strong flour and wheat 11.5% for softer blending applications.

Destination markets and import demand

Russian milling wheat 12.5% moves to flour mills in Egypt, Turkey, Yemen, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Indonesia — markets that combine Black Sea FOB pricing with coaster and Panamax discharge economics. North African buyers (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) source for state tender programs and private mill intake. Middle Eastern importers value consistent test weight and falling number for long-distance storage. For first-time buyers, our import wheat from Russia guide covers vetting suppliers, Incoterms and payment steps; logistics detail is in the Black Sea grain logistics article.

Documentation and survey at load

Each cargo is documented with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and independent survey by SGS or an equivalent surveyor at the load port. Quality determination at loading — sampling from conveyors or holds, sealing and dispute rules — follows GAFTA contract practice or the buyer's nominated form. Mycotoxin panels (aflatoxin, DON) can be added when the destination requires. Weight and quality are fixed at load; phytosanitary inspection confirms compliance with the importing country's plant-health rules before vessel departure.

Black Sea and Baltic loading logistics

Delivery terms: FOB Black Sea (Novorossiysk, Taman, Rostov-on-Don, Azov) or FOB Baltic (Ust-Luga, St. Petersburg) under Incoterms 2020; CIF to named discharge ports in the Mediterranean, North Africa, Middle East and Asia on request. Parcel sizes from 3,000 MT trial coasters through 20,000–35,000 MT Handysize stems to 50,000–65,000 MT Panamax programs.
