The m/m (month-on-month) increase primarily reflects an upgraded maize figure, but with the barley outlook also improving. Carry-in inventories are revised higher and, with grains consumption projected only 2m t more than before, much of the additional supply is channelled into closing stocks, placed 11m up from September, at 619m (aggregate of respective local marketing years). Tied to another reduction for wheat, the trade projection is down by 1m t, at 450m. Reflecting marginal adjustments to outlooks for production and consumption, aggregate soyabean inventories in 2026/27 are uprated slightly m/m, to around 74m t; within the total, major exporters' reserves are seen falling steeply.
