International Grains Council expects global wheat production to grow 1% in 2025/26

The European Union's (EU) wheat harvest for the 2024/25 season has seen a decrease due to heavy rainfall, particularly affecting France, which has resulted in its production being at its lowest since the 1980s. Despite this setback, the International Grains Council (IGC) predicts a slight rebound in the EU27's wheat production, reaching 132.9 million tonnes in 2025/26, which is slightly above the 2024/25 figures but still slightly below the 2023/24 production. The UK's wheat production is also expected to increase to 13.2 million tonnes in the next season, up from 10.9 million tonnes in 2024/25, but still falls short of the 2023/24 production levels.
