Morocco: Grain and Feed Annual
Post forecasts MY 2017/18 production at 4.59 MMT for common wheat, 1.66 MMT for durum wheat, and 2.05 MMT for barley, representing a strong recovery from a disastrous 2016 crop but still well short of the bountiful 2015 harvest. The season started late but enjoyed very favorable growing conditions up until the recent onset of increasing temperatures which have threatened to derail the potential upside of a very good crop. Post forecasts MY 2017/18 wheat imports at 5.1 MMT and barley imports at 250,000 MT. Finally, Post reintroduces production, supply, and distribution estimates for rice.
