USDA cut its 2026/27 Ukrainian export forecasts by a combined 3 million tonnes in its November WASDE report: wheat exports fell by 1 million tonnes to 11.5 million, and corn by 2 million to 20 million. Ukraine’s wheat production forecast rose by 0.5 million tonnes, while wheat and corn ending stocks increased; USDA cited continuing Black Sea military risks that constrain exports.
Lower Ukrainian export availability can tighten exportable supplies and support wheat and corn prices. However, higher Ukrainian production and stocks, alongside larger global wheat supply and ending stocks, temper the bullish signal.
