# World corn supplies set for 12-year lows despite massive US crop | Reuters

> USDA projects global corn ending stocks for 2025-26 at 277.8 million metric tons, the lowest in 12 years and well below the pre-report trade estimate of 297.4 million. Strong demand is expected to keep supplies tight even with a large US crop.
