The FAO raised its 2022 world cereal production forecast by 9 million tonnes to 2,774 million tonnes, with rice output lifted to 517 million tonnes. It expects global cereal stocks to fall in 2022/23 and points to lower wheat production in 2023.
Poor rains in Tanzania and floods in Pakistan cut output in those countries.
Falling global cereal stocks and early signs of lower 2023 wheat output support wheat prices. Rice supply stays above average, which limits upside for rice.
