The all-wheat harvested area in 2025 was estimated at 37,241,000 acres, down 1,392,000 acres, or 3.6%, from 38,633,000 acres in 2024.

While the expected increase in imports will support grain availability and help millers and feed processors manage supply, it raises challenges for local producers.

Egypt is projected to import 9.5 million tonnes, up 9% on increased demand from the poultry sector.

According to the USDA, Brazil will remain the undisputed leader with approximately 40% of global supply.

The forecast underscores the country’s continued reliance on external markets for more than half its wheat needs.
