33、t to fall below last years record level,but it should still be the second largest on record.Most of the foreseen reduction relates to lower outputs in Australia and the Russian Federation,following all-time highs in 2022,and sizeable production declines forecast in Canada and Kazakhstan.These decrea
34、ses are anticipated to more than offset production upturns in Argentina,India and the United States of America.The world total wheat utilization is forecast to rise in 2023/24,stemming from an expected growth in the food consumption led by Asia and Africa and feed use components,while the other uses
35、 are anticipated to remain on par with last seasons levels.The increase in feed use is foreseen to be largely concentrated in China,supported by the domestic price competitiveness of wheat relative to other cereals and a larger domestic supply of lower quality wheat this year.Global wheat inventorie
36、s are forecast to remain near their record-high opening levels by the close of the seasons in 2024.The aggregate stock level of the major exporters is expected to rise,mainly reflecting an increase in stocks in Ukraine and the United States of America.As a result,the ratio of major exporters stock-t
37、o-disappearance(defined as domestic utilization plus exports)a measure of global market availabilities is forecast to rise from 19.4 percent in 2022/23 to 20.5 percent in 2023/24.Ample supplies and strong competition among exporters have contributed to a general downward trend in international wheat
38、 prices,which stood 27 percent below their year-earlier value as of October.World wheat trade in 2023/24(July/June)is predicted to fall from the record level reached in 2022/23.Accounting for most of the foreseen decline among importers,China,the European Union and Trkiye are expected to curb their
39、purchases this season.On the export side,smaller shipments are foreseen from Australia and Canada,in both cases reflecting an expected fall in domestic production,and from Ukraine,due to ongoing trade disruptions from the war.Partly offsetting those declines,larger sales are foreseen by Argentina,ma

46、f America,where remunerative crop prices have driven up maize plantings.Notable but smaller increases are also expected in China(mainland)and the European Union.Conversely,sizeable production downturns are foreseen in Argentina,Australia and Canada due to dry weather conditions,which have lowered yi
47、eld prospects.Supported by the foreseen greater availabilities,global utilization of coarse grains is anticipated to increase in 2023/24 after contracting in 2022/23.This reflects expected growth in maize and sorghum utilization more than offsetting a likely decline in barley consumption.Feed uses o
48、f maize and sorghum are expected to rise,especially in China,Brazil and the United States of America,while Brazil and the United States of America are also seen to account for much of the increase in the industrial use of maize.After falling to a nine-year low in 2022/23,total inventories of coarse
49、grains are seen heading for a strong rebound in 2023/24,due to an anticipated recovery in maize stocks.With the bulk of the rise in maize inventories expected to be concentrated in the United States of America,along with smaller increases in other major exporting countries,including Brazil and Ukrai
50、ne,the world coarse grains stocks-to-use ratio as well as the major exporters stocks-to-disappearance ratio(defined as domestic consumption plus exports)are expected to rise,with the latter potentially reaching its highest level in five years.World trade in coarse grains in 2023/24(July/June)is fore
51、cast to decline from its 2022/23 level,driven mostly by an anticipated fall in maize trade,along with a smaller foreseen decrease in barley trade.The decline in global maize trade mostly reflects expectations of lower import demand by the European Union and,on the export side,reduced maize shipments
52、 from Ukraine due to the ongoing disruptions from the war.Brazil is set to maintain its position as the worlds leading maize exporter for a second season.The rebound in global supplies this season has exerted downward pressure on international prices of major coarse grains,which overall stood 25 per
53、cent below their levels in the corresponding period last year in October.For additional analyses and updates,see:FAO Cereal Supply and Demand Brief http:/www.fao.org/worldfoodsituation Crop Prospects and Food Situation http:/www.fao.org/giews/reports/crop-prospects AMIS Market Monitor http:/www.amis

59、ce of La Nia event until March,which was followed by the emergence of El Nio in June.At the same time,improvements in the relative profitability of rice cultivation have stimulated expansions in main-crop plantings in Asia,Africa and Northern America that should help offset the negative impacts of t
60、he weather disruptions.As a result,world rice production is forecast to reach 523.9 million tonnes(milled basis)in 2023/24,implying a 0.8 percent expansion from the 2022/23 reduced harvest.Total world rice use is seen stagnating at 522.0 million tonnes in 2023/24,as high domestic and international p
61、rices are expected to depress the use of rice for animal feed and deter growth in per capita food intake outside of some Asian countries,Northern America and Europe.Combined with an anticipated production recovery,this could lift world rice stocks at the close of 2023/24 marketing seasons to a fresh
62、 peak of 198.9 million tonnes,with much of the foreseen expansion concentrated in China,Indonesia,the United States of America and,especially,India.International trade in rice in 2024 is forecast to remain close to the 2023 reduced level at 52.8 million tonnes.Apart from Brazil,Uruguay and Viet Nam,
63、most exporters are expected to raise their shipments,compensating for an export reduction in India,where official decisions regarding the duration of the export restrictions and exceptions to them will continue to determine the countrys export performance.Meanwhile,global import demand could be broa
64、dly strong next year.However,if they persist,high export prices could curb African imports for the second successive year,while refurbished stocks could enable some Asian importers(notably Indonesia)to reduce their purchases.After rising for the greater part of the last 18 months,international rice
65、prices accelerated their pace of increase in July and August 2023,amid a stepping up of rice export restrictions by India,seasonal tightness and concerns about the impacts of El Nio on production.Since then,export quotations have eased,influenced by a weakening import demand,the arrival of freshly h

72、e expanding in 2023/24 and reach a new record high,mainly reflecting higher forecasts for soybean and sunflower seed,more than offsetting an expected contraction in rapeseed production.The anticipated increase in soybean production primarily hinges on expectations of a considerable output recovery i
73、n Argentina and a continued area expansion in Brazil,assuming normal weather conditions in both countries.On the other hand,soybean output in the United States of America will likely decline for the second consecutive season due to reduced plantings.Meanwhile,world sunflower seed production is predi
74、cted to rebound markedly from the previous season,owing chiefly to conducive growing conditions across the Black Sea region and Europe.By contrast,global rapeseed production is expected to drop from the record high registered in 2022/23 due to anticipated harvest shortfalls in Australia and Canada a
75、mid unfavourable weather conditions.As for palm oil,outputs in both Indonesia and Malaysia are forecast to increase,but only modestly because of expectations of below-potential yields.Global oils/fats utilization in 2023/24 is predicted to increase by 2.5 percent from the previous season,underpinned
76、 by an anticipated growth in the food use component and robust demand from the biodiesel sector,particularly in the United States of America.Meanwhile,world consumption of oilmeals is forecast to grow by 3.1 percent,facilitated by expected production gains coinciding with anticipated steady uptakes
77、from the feed industry.International trade in both vegetable oils and oilmeals is forecast to stagnate in 2023/24,with major importing countries expected to be well supplied from their purchases in the previous season.With global oils/fats production seen as falling short of expected consumption by
78、a small margin in 2023/24,world carryover stocks of oils/fats are predicted to contract slightly below their opening levels while remaining above their average level of recent years.As for oilmeals,global ending stocks are forecast to rise further to a four-year high,due largely to anticipated produ
79、ction increases.In line with such fundamentals,the international prices of vegetable oils remained on a downward trajectory after reaching all-time highs in March 2022.World oilmeal prices also declined in recent months,following temporary increases in early 2023.For additional analyses and updates,

85、on deficit in the 2023/24(October/September)season,as global output is forecast to fall below last seasons bumper level,while world consumption is expected to continue expanding,albeit moderately.As a result,sugar inventories are predicted to decline in 2023/24.FAOs preliminary forecast for the 2023
86、/24 season pegs world sugar production at 175.5 million tonnes,down 3.6 million tonnes,or 2 percent,from the 2022/23 outturn.The decline is largely attributed to expectations of reduced outputs in key producing countries,namely Thailand and India,due to drier-than-normal weather conditions associate
87、d with the prevailing El Nio phenomenon.In Brazil,the 2023/24 sugar production is set to be lower than the 2022/23 record level,while in the United States of America,production is expected to decline slightly due to dry weather conditions.By contrast,in the European Union,the 2023/24 sugar output is
88、 forecast to recover from last years reduced level on account of both an increase in plantings and higher yields.Likewise,a rebound in production is also expected in China,driven by a strong recovery in sugar crop yields.Global sugar consumption is set to expand by 0.8 percent in 2023/24,a slowdown
89、compared to the growth recorded in the previous three seasons.The increase is primarily driven by population growth,while the slowing world economy and high sugar prices are expected to partly offset the upward effect of population on demand.The preliminary forecast for world sugar trade in 2023/24
90、is pegged at 60.7 million tonnes,slightly down from the estimated volume for 2022/23 due to lower exportable supplies anticipated in Brazil,India and Thailand.Global import demand is expected to be subdued,with a significant forecast decline in imports by the European Union and the United States of
91、America,while purchases by China will likely recover after the decline in 2022/23.After retreating in June and July 2023,international sugar prices rebounded,and in September 2023 they reached their highest level since September 2011.The price increases were mainly the result of concerns over a tigh

96、growth in production in Asia,mainly of pig meat in China,due to increased slaughter as non-competitive,small-scale farmers exit the sector amid low prices and squeezed profit margins.Production is also likely to expand in South America,notably Brazil,due to lower feed costs,and in Oceania,due to an
97、expanded supply of slaughter-ready animals and increased export demand.These production gains will likely be partially offset by lower outputs in Europe,mainly in the European Union,because of animal diseases and the continued drop in herd numbers,and in Africa,as drier conditions continue to impact
98、 feed and fodder availabilities and conflicts disrupt livestock operations.Northern America is also experiencing output declines due to lower producer returns and relatively high feed costs.Global trade in meat and meat products is forecast at nearly 41 million tonnes in 2023,down 0.8 percent from t
99、he previous year.Imports are expected to decline in Africa,Europe,Northern America,South America and Oceania,influenced mainly by reduced consumer purchases due to rising inflation,sluggish economic growth and the impact of currency depreciations.The contraction in the overall meat trade will likely
100、 be contained by an import recovery in Asia,led by China,underpinned by higher food services sales,notwithstanding higher domestic production and ample stocks.In addition,Central America and the Caribbean could increase meat imports due to a rebound in demand,especially for poultry and bovine meats.
101、Regarding exports,higher shipments are expected mainly from Brazil and Australia,reflecting their animal disease-free status and competitive prices.Elsewhere,animal diseases continue to weigh on trade despite efforts to contain export downturns through trade agreements and the implementation of anim
102、al disease regionalization policies.International meat prices trended downward since July 2023,principally due to increased export availabilities from leading exporting regions,especially South America,led by Brazil and Oceania.In addition,a slowdown in the pace of imports by key meat-importing coun

121、aquaculture products and livestock feed inputs.World trade in fish and fisheries products in 2023 is forecast at 65 million tonnes,a 4.3 percent decline compared with 2022 levels.Meanwhile,the value of global trade in aquatic products is expected to decline to USD 183.7 billion.Currency fluctuations
