輸入小麦、４．３％下げ　主産地豊作見込みで―農水省

　農林水産省は９日、輸入小麦の政府売り渡し価格（５銘柄加重平均、税込み）を１０月１日から４．３％引き下げると発表した。主産地オーストラリアの豊作を見込んだ国際価格の下落に加え、新型コロナウイルス感染症に伴う物流縮小から輸送コストが減っているため。
　新たな価格は１トン当たり４万９２１０円。農水省によると、今回の値下げを小売価格に反映した場合、食パン１斤当たり０．４円の値下げになる。（2020/09/09-16:40）

Japan's agriculture ministry said Wednesday that it will sell from Oct. 1 imported wheat to domestic milling firms and other buyers at prices 4.3 pct lower than the current levels.
   The ministry, the sole wheat importer, will cut the wholesale prices on the back of drops in the international market prices on envisaged good harvests in Australia and in shipping fees reflecting slower demand amid the coronavirus pandemic.
   Through the markdown, the weighted average of the five wheat brands' selling prices will come to 49,210 yen per ton. As a result, retail bread prices would go down by 0.4 yen per loaf, ministry officials said.
   The ministry reviews wholesale prices of imported wheat every April and October.
