World Agricultural Production Monthly report on crop acreage, yield and production in major countries worldwide. Sources include reporting from FAS’s worldwide offices, official statistics of foreign governments,  and analysis of economic data and satellite imagery. The report reflects official USDA estimates released in the monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE).  Current Report Grain: World Markets and Trade This monthly report includes data on U.S. and global trade, production, consumption and stocks, as well as analysis of developments affecting world trade in grains. Covers wheat, rice and coarse grains (corn, barley, sorghum, oats and rye). Current Report Oilseeds: World Markets and Trade This monthly report includes data on U.S. and global trade, production, consumption and stocks, as well as analysis of developments affecting world trade in oilseeds. Covers oilseeds (copra, cottonseed, palm kernel, peanut, rapeseed, soybean and sunflower seed), meal (copra, cottonseed, fish, palm kernel, peanut, rapeseed, soybean and sunflower seed) and oil (coconut, cottonseed, olive, palm, palm kernel, peanut, rapeseed, soybean and sunflower seed). Current Report Cotton: World Markets and Trade This monthly report includes data on U.S. and global trade, production, consumption and stocks, as well as analysis of developments affecting world trade in cotton. Current Report The following GAIN reports were released on September 8, 2026. _______     Bangladesh: Grain and Feed Update For MY 2026/27, Post forecasts higher rice imports following decreased production of aus and aman season rice. Post lowers its wheat import forecast to 6.6 million metric tons (MT) due to higher international wheat prices and relatively high carryover stocks from MY 2025/26. Meanwhile, Post raises its corn import forecast to 1.8 million MT, driven by continued growth in demand from the poultry, aquaculture, and livestock feed sectors. Tanzania: Tanzania Poultry Market Dynamics and Access Constraints The United States continues to lack access to mainland Tanzania's poultry market, despite ongoing supply constraints and shortages of key inputs. In Zanzibar, increased excise duties on frozen chicken have led to the closure of a longstanding U.S. supplier and variable year-over-year U.S. export volumes, despite still having market access. The following GAIN reports were released on September 10, 2026. _______     European Union: EU Corn September Update 2026 The EU's MY 2026/27 corn crop faces steep downward revisions across Western and Central Europe due to heat and drought. Irrigation in Spain and Portugal, and favorable conditions in Bulgaria and Romania, only partially compensate the overall decline. With EU production falling short and Ukrainian supply access temporarily constrained, a combination of alternative feed grains as well as corn imports, particularly from the United States and Brazil, are expected to rise to fill the gap, even as total consumption contracts more than previously forecast. India: Tree Nuts Annual FAS New Delhi (Post) forecasts India's market year (MY) 2026/2027 (August–July) almond production lower at 3,900 metric tons (MT) on a shelled basis due to adverse weather conditions, aging orchards, and reduced yields. Almond imports for the same period are projected at 187,000 MT, up eight percent from the revised MY 2025/2026 estimate of 173,300 MT. Walnut and pistachio imports are projected at 69,000 MT and 62,000 MT, respectively. India has minimal commercial production of almonds and walnuts, and virtually no commercial production of pistachios, forcing heavy reliance on imports of all three nuts to meet growing demand. This demand is driven by factors including a growing economy, rising incomes, an expanding middle class, and increasing awareness of health benefits—despite higher prices and tight supplies. Philippines: Livestock and Products Annual FAS Manila forecasts higher pork production in 2027, driven by intensified repopulation efforts, sustained biosecurity measures, and improved swine genetics and animal nutrition. However, an anticipated strong El Niño could temper this growth absent timely mitigation efforts. Post also forecasts higher 2027 pork consumption, supported by population growth, easing prices, and projected economic recovery. Beef and carabeef production in 2027 is forecast to hold steady at the 2026 level, as adoption of improved technologies and practices remains limited among smallholder farmers who account for the majority of the country’s cattle and carabao inventory. Additionally, pork and beef imports in 2027 are forecast to increase as higher demand continues to outpace local production.
