The United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has forecasted that the global wheat production in 2023 will reach 784 million tons, which is nearly the second highest ever. The production prospects for forage crops in the Southern Hemisphere are favorable, and the total corn planted in Brazil is expected to hit a record. However, the global grain consumption in the 2022-2023 season is predicted to decrease by 0.6% to 2,780 million tons due to an anticipated reduction in the consumption of all major feed grains. Furthermore, the FAO anticipates a 1.2% decrease in global grain stocks by the end of 2023, and a 1.8% drop in world grain trade to 473 million tons.
