The FAO's latest cereal supply and demand brief keeps its 2026 world cereal production forecast at 2,979 million tonnes, 2.1% below last year's record. Wheat output was raised by 3.2 million tonnes to 813.9 million, mainly on better Australian prospects, while coarse grain forecasts were cut.
Higher wheat supply offsets a lower coarse grain outlook, leaving global feed grain balances roughly flat. The wheat upgrade is mildly bearish for wheat prices, while lower secondary cereal output supports corn and sorghum.
