Russia's agricultural market research institute ICAR cut its total 2026/27 grain export forecast to 49.5 mln t from 52.8 mln t, and wheat to 39.5 mln t from 42 mln t. Under its stress scenario, however, it raised the total grain export estimate to 36.5 mln t from 35 mln t, with wheat up to 30 mln t from 29 mln t.
Lower base forecasts tighten expected Russian supply, which is supportive for wheat and feed grain prices in export markets. The stress-scenario upgrade signals exports are running at the lower end of the range but still growing.
