The Institute of Agricultural Market Conjuncture (ICAR) cut its 2026/27 Russian total grain export forecast to 49.5 million tonnes from 52.8 million, and wheat exports to 39.5 million tonnes from 42 million. At the same time it raised its stress-scenario estimates, to 36.5 million tonnes for grain and 30 million for wheat, as shipments continue to track the stress case.
A lower base forecast for Russian wheat exports tightens expected supply to world buyers and supports wheat prices, while the higher stress-case floor signals that the export pace is holding up better than the base case implied.
