The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has raised its latest forecast for global grain production in 2025 this month, increasing by 0.7% (19.9 million tons) from last month to 3.023 billion tons, further solidifying the previously expected record level. The upward revision is mainly due to higher-than-expected wheat yields in Argentina, Canada, and the European Union, driving global wheat production to a new high. Similarly, the forecast for global coarse grain production has also been slightly raised to a new historical peak. Data from China and the United States show expanded corn planting areas and better-than-expected yields; increased barley production in Australia and Canada also further support the record-breaking production outlook this month.
