Monthly report offers global supply and demand forecasts
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has released its latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report, prepared each month by the World Agricultural Outlook Board. This respected publication provides annual forecasts for the supply and use of U.S. and global wheat, rice, coarse grains, oilseeds, and cotton.
“American farmers feed and fuel the world, and this report equips them with the trusted, timely data they need to make informed business decisions,” said Secretary Rollins. “Thanks to President Trump’s historic trade wins over the past few months, new and expanded market opportunities are opening for American agricultural producers in every corner of the world. This follows today’s inflation report that came under analysts' expectations, giving producers greater certainty to plan ahead, invest in their operations, and compete globally. These victories, paired with the first-rate analysis from USDA, ensure our producers have the tools, the markets, and the confidence to grow their operations and strengthen the American economy.”
The WASDE report is considered the gold standard for agricultural market intelligence. It offers producers, agribusiness leaders, and policymakers essential insights to anticipate market trends, manage risks, and inform policy and investment strategies. With inflation trending below expectations, the report comes at a time when producers have greater certainty to plan for the future and expand their operations.
By delivering accurate and transparent data, USDA ensures that America’s agricultural economy remains competitive and globally connected. Regular updates such as the WASDE report help guide planting, marketing, and export decisions while strengthening market stability. This combination of reliable market analysis and growing trade opportunities positions U.S. agriculture to continue its role as a leader in global food and fiber production.
