The IGC's May report raised its 2023-24 total grains production forecast by 3 million tonnes to a record 2.294 billion tonnes. Global soybean output is forecast up 9% to 403 million tonnes, while ending stocks are projected to tighten to 580 million tonnes as consumption grows faster.
Record global output pressures grain and oilseed prices, though tighter projected stocks limit the downside. The IGC's grains and oilseeds index fell 7% to a 23-month low on softer export prices.
