# USDA Has Raised Its Forecast for Barley and Other Forage Grain Harvest in Ukraine

> In its November WASDE report, the USDA raised its 2026/27 Ukrainian feed grain production forecast by 0.4 million tons to 39.49 million tons, mainly on a higher barley estimate. It also cut the forecast for Ukrainian feed grain exports by 2 million tons, mostly due to corn, and raised ending stocks from 8.7 to 11.1 million tons.

## Why it matters

A larger Ukrainian barley crop and higher ending stocks add supply to feed grain markets, which is mildly bearish for barley. Lower corn exports from Ukraine partly offset this by tightening export availability.
