The World Bank's October 2026 Commodity Markets Outlook projects 2026 average prices up 18% for soybeans to US$489 per tonne and 28% for wheat to US$311 per tonne, with oils and meals up 17%, grains up 14%, and fertilizers up 14%. The forecast attributes the pressure to the Middle East war, Black Sea trade barriers, biofuel demand and El Niño.
A forecast of sharply higher grain, oilseed and fertilizer prices raises feed cost expectations for buyers, though it is an institutional outlook rather than a new market shock.
