> FAO's GIEWS country brief for Guinea-Bissau reports that coarse grain planting is underway with rains expected in early June. The country's 2022 cereal output was 301,000 tonnes, but it relies on imports of rice and wheat, with 2022/23 import needs about 11 percent above the five-year average.

## Why it matters

Higher import needs in a small West African market add minor demand for rice and wheat, though the volume is too small to move global feed grain prices.
