Global wheat output seen down 23 million tonnes to 821 mt in 2026-27 as Iran-linked costs rise and El Niño risks mount

AI Market Summary
The IGC projects 2026-27 global wheat output falling to 821mt while consumption rises, implying a tighter balance and lower ending stocks. Reduced acreage across the US, EU/UK and Australia, plus El Niño weather risk and higher fertiliser costs linked to the Iran conflict, reinforce supply uncertainty. With trade also expected to decline and futures near two-year highs, the news is supportive for wheat-sensitive pricing and volatility.
