# FAS - Foreign Agricultural Service (via Public) / India: Grain and Feed Update

> USDA's FAS lowered its 2026/27 India rice production forecast to 147 MMT and corn to 50 MMT because a weak southwest monsoon has disrupted kharif sowing. Record carryover stocks are expected to offset the production decline and keep domestic supplies more than sufficient.

## Why it matters

Lower Indian rice and corn output tightens export availability at the margin, but record stocks limit the price impact, so the effect is moderate.
