Tridge summary

The International Grain Council (IGC) has revised its global grain production forecast to 87.2 million tons, marking a 2% decrease from the previous season and a reduction of 900,000 tonnes from the prior month's estimate. This decline is attributed to lower harvests in Australia and Ukraine, which are expected to produce 5.4 million and 4.9 million tonnes respectively, due to adverse weather conditions. Additionally, Western Europe, particularly France, Germany, and Great Britain, is facing challenges such as excessive rain, waterlogging, and pests, resulting in an estimated EU production of 18.7 million tons, a 5.1% drop from the previous year.
