Milling & Grains – COMMODITY & TRADE UPDATES

Despite FAS forecasting a decline in wheat and barley production for the upcoming season, output is still expected to remain well above the previous 10-year average.

The project aims to develop sustainable, climate-smart rice production systems that enhance both yield quality and quantity to meet millers’ needs.

This deficit, driven largely by climate anomalies and insufficient humanitarian funding, places the nation at risk of heightened food insecurity and increased dependence on grain imports.

The projected harvest comprises 2.4 million tons of soft wheat, 1.06 million tons of durum wheat, and 0.95 million tons of barley.

This marks a significant policy shift, driven by rising inflation and growing openness among Japanese consumers to foreign rice.
