# Staying ahead  - Frontline

> USDA's February outlook projects India to keep its leading role in rice exports in 2019, supported by higher acreage and production. China is expected to cut rice imports while boosting exports, and Thailand's exports are forecast to fall significantly. Russia is expected to top wheat exports in the year to June 2019.
