The USDA's updated global forecast for the 2024/25 marketing year predicts a rise in Ukraine's wheat production and exports, but a decrease in corn production and exports. Globally, wheat production is expected to decrease, leading to a reduction in consumption and trade, but an increase in ending stocks. Corn production is also anticipated to decline, along with trade volumes and final stocks, despite an increase in U.S. production. The EU is expected to have the lowest wheat harvest since 2018 due to quality issues.
