    • Boosted by a larger harvestand high opening stocks, total supply to rise to a new peak

    • Consumption up as sustained growth in food use outweighs a drop in feeding

    • World carryover stocks will likely be up again at end-17/18. But growth mainly in China

    • Cumulative inventories in major exporters seen stable. Russia could expand by 7m, to highest in 25 years

    • Trade only a fraction below last year’s record

    • How much can Russia export?

    IGC 2018 igc.intWheat: 2018/19 supply and demand prospects

    • Small production fall mainly reflects a retreat in Russia from the high of the year before

    • Large opening stocks keep total supplies close to a record

    • Consumption to stay high, driven by food use

    • Fall in stocks mainly in major exporters -9m t; includes contractions in Russia and USA

    • China’s stocks up again –could account for nearly half of the world total

    • Trade underpinned by solid demand in Asia and Africa

    Near record supplies, but world stocks could bedown for the first time in six years
