Total wheat consumption in 2025-26 is expected to reach 20.4 million tonnes, which would be up nearly 1.5% from 2024-25.
The wheat harvest for 2025-26 is anticipated to remain steady at 3 MMT, with barley production projected at 1.2 MMT.
Originally set to conclude on April 30, 2025, the program will now continue from May 1 through the end of the year.
The USDA attributes this positive outlook to an expected 7% rise in yields, reaching 1.2 tonnes per hectare.
This shift in Morocco’s wheat sourcing is largely attributed to shortages in French wheat production.
