RaboResearch expects international wheat prices to be supported next year by falling stocks and export difficulties for Russian and Ukrainian grain. It also expects diesel and other production input costs to stay high.
Rabobank projects global wheat consumption to exceed production by about 4 million tonnes in 2026/27 and by about 8.5 million tonnes in 2027/28, with world stocks falling from 281.6 million tonnes to about 269 million.
A tighter wheat balance and higher diesel and input costs raise feed grain prices and the cost of feed transport and production. Disruption to Black Sea exports, which affect about 30% of world wheat trade, keeps upside risk in wheat prices.
