# Change takes hold of global oat market | World Grain

> Oatinformation's Randy Strychar told the North American Millers' Association spring conference that global oat markets are shifting rapidly, with tightening supply and continued volatility expected for North American oats in 2026-27. He highlighted fast growth in oat milling in China and India, where China's milling capacity has reached about 750,000 tonnes and it is now the second largest raw oat importer. Russian production also faces quality issues and the ongoing war.
