# Cereal Production in Asia: India, China Fare Better Despite Climate Shocks – Outlook Business

> FAO projects 2024 global cereal output at 2,848 million tonnes, down 0.4% from the previous year, mainly because of lower maize output from adverse weather in South America, Europe and southern Africa. India's cereal production is forecast to rise to 380.6 million tonnes, and East Asian rice exports are projected to climb 6% year on year, led by India.
