In Missouri, World Grain reported that global grains production in the 2025-26 marketing year is forecast at a record 2.373 billion tons, according to the International Grains Council (IGC).
In its April Grain Market Report, the IGC revised its corn output projection to a record 1.274 billion tons, while projections for wheat and rice remained roughly the same from the previous month.
If realized, corn output would be 5% higher than in 2024-25 and total grains production would increase by 3% year on year, according to the report.
“Coarse grains stocks are forecast to build slightly, while wheat carryovers could recede for the third consecutive year,” the IGC said.
The Council noted that at 424 million tons, “trade is expected to rise, but with volumes seen smaller than average amid muted Chinese buying interest.”
