Food Outlook Summary

Core Content

The Food Outlook is a biannual report published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) that provides an analysis of global food markets. The report includes market assessments, special features, market indicators, and statistical data. It is released in June and November, with the June edition offering more detailed market analysis.

Main Themes and Outlook

Global Food Market Outlook

• General Outlook: The global food commodity markets are expected to remain relatively optimistic, with production of all commodities, except sugar, anticipated to increase.
• Stock Recovery: The impact of production growth on stock recovery will depend on the balance between supply and demand.
• Vulnerabilities: Markets remain vulnerable to weather conditions, geopolitical tensions, trade policy uncertainties, and economic setbacks.
• Inflation: Headline inflation is expected to ease, but shifts in economic policy and geopolitical tensions could affect inflation in different directions.
• Exchange Rates: Exchange rate fluctuations are likely to impact the global economy and international trade.

Commodity-Specific Forecasts

Wheat

• Production and Utilization: Wheat utilization is expected to grow faster than production, leading to a drawdown of global stocks.
• Trade: Global wheat trade is forecast to partially recover from the previous season's decline, driven by increased import demand from Asia.
• Stocks: Major exporting countries will see reduced stock levels.

Coarse Grains

• Prices: Coarse grain prices, especially maize, are starting the 2025/26 season above average levels.
• Production: A rebound in production is expected, which may lead to a partial recovery in global stock levels.

Rice

• Production: World rice production is forecast to reach a new peak in 2025/26, provided growing conditions remain favorable.
• Utilization and Stocks: An abundant harvest could support continued growth in utilization and stocks.
• Trade: International trade is expected to expand in 2025, despite declines in imports by Asian countries.

Meat

• Production: Global meat production is forecast to increase modestly, with poultry meat output being a key driver.
• Trade: Meat trade is expected to expand, fueled by strong import demand.
• Prices: Tight global supplies and rising costs could lead to further price increases.

Sugar

• Production: Sugar production is expected to decline due to lower outputs in major producing countries.
• Consumption: Global consumption is anticipated to rise only modestly.
• Trade: Sugar trade is predicted to contract, mainly due to reduced export availabilities from key exporting countries.

Oilcrops

• Soybean Production: Record soybean production in 2024/25 is expected to lead to increased oilmeal stocks.
• Oils/Fats: Global oils/fats markets may remain tight due to subdued growth in palm, rapeseed, and sunflower oil outputs.
• Future Outlook: Oilmeal supplies are likely to continue rising, while oils/fats output could also increase, albeit slowly.

Dairy

• Production: Milk production is forecast to continue expanding, mainly driven by Asia and South America.
• Trade: Demand recovery is expected to be limited due to rising prices, which may constrain international trade.

Fisheries

• Production: Fisheries and aquaculture output is projected to increase by 1.5% in 2025.
• Challenges: Higher tariffs, retaliatory measures, exchange rate volatility, and rising production costs are expected to challenge the sector.
• Trade: Trade growth is anticipated, but market access restrictions may limit opportunities.

Key Features and Special Topics

• High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI): A special article discusses the economic impacts and trade implications of HPAI.
• Trade Flows: Changes in trade flows since the war in Ukraine are analyzed.
• Fertilizer Markets: An update on fertilizer markets is included, highlighting the role of Russian Federation in global fertilizer trade.
• Fish Fraud: Economic drivers behind fish fraud are discussed.
• Decarbonization of Maritime Sector: Impacts on net food-importing developing countries (NFIDCs) are considered.

Market Indicators

• Futures Markets: Analysis of futures prices, volumes, and volatility.
• Ocean Freight Rates: Trends in ocean freight rates, including the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) and other freight indices.
• Food Import Bill: Changes in the global food import bill by food group.
• Food Price Indices: Updates on FAO food price indices, including cereal, meat, dairy, and fish indices.

Statistical Appendix

• Tables and Figures: Includes detailed statistics and data visualizations for various food commodities and markets.
• Cereal, Wheat, Coarse Grains, Rice, Oilcrops, Sugar, Meat, Dairy, and Fish Statistics: Comprehensive data on production, trade, and utilization.
