# India's wheat and rice hold steady as a weak monsoon hits corn, soybean and cotton

> USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service projects India's 2026/27 wheat output at 121 million tonnes and rice at 147 million tonnes, both steady or higher. Corn, oilseeds and cotton are set back after southwest monsoon rainfall came in 13 per cent below the long-period average, with corn projected at 50 million tonnes and soybean at 10.7 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

A weaker kharif corn and soybean crop in India trims exportable supply and raises domestic demand for feed grains and meal, which supports regional prices, while steady wheat and rice output keeps grain supply comfortable.
