World: USDA lowers wheat and coarse grains estimates

Published 2024년 12월 11일

Tridge summary

The USDA's January crop forecast (WASDE) report has revised the global wheat and coarse grains harvest downwards compared to the November report. The global wheat harvest is now projected to be 792.95 Mt, a slight increase from last year but a decrease from the November projections. The reduction is largely due to worsening forecasts in the EU. The world trade forecast has also been reduced, largely due to decreases in EU and Russian exports, which cannot be offset by higher exports from the US and Ukraine. The ending stocks for the 2024/2025 season are expected to rise slightly but remain the lowest since 2015/2016. The outlook for coarse grains in 2024/2025 is for lower production, trade, and ending stocks compared to the previous month. Maize production has also been downwardly revised, largely due to declines in the EU and South-East Asia, and world maize ending stocks are down due to falls in China, the EU, and Indonesia.
