Global cereal crops output in 2018 is expected to fall to 2.607 billion tonnes, about 1.6% below the near-record harvest of 2017. The decrease is mainly due to the expected reduction in the production of maize, especially in the United States.

The FAO forecasts world rice production to increase by 1.3% to reach 510.6 million tonnes, setting a new record high and attributes the increase primarily to expanded cultivations in Asia.

As for cereal utilization, the FAO’s forecast for cereal utilization, both food and feed, is anticipated to be another record high of 2.626 billion tonnes. That reflects a projected 1% increase in world rice utilization, a 0.8% expansion in global wheat utilization and a 0.4% rise in total utilization of coarse grains, of which maize feed use is expected to increase by as much as 2.8% to a new high of 615 million tonnes.
