FAO forecasts global cereal production of about 2.979 billion tonnes in 2026, while international cereal trade is projected to fall 3.5% to 505.8 million tonnes in 2026/27. Black Sea shipping constraints, limited alternative transport capacity and changing export availability are shifting sourcing and shipment arrangements; the IGC also projects lower wheat and coarse-grain trade.
Reduced trade and constrained export routes can limit accessible supplies despite high global production, supporting freight costs and export-region grain prices. Shifting origins may also complicate procurement and delivery planning for feed buyers.
