Pakistan: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   PK2025-0003
Wheat production is projected to fall to 27.5 million tons in 2025/26 due to a decrease in cultivated area and extremely dry weather. This shortfall in domestic production is expected to lead to increased imports, forecast at 1.7 million tons. On the other hand, rice production is anticipated to reach 9.8 million tons, driven by strong export demand and positive returns, although this remains dependent on the replenishment of irrigation water storage levels. With this supply outlook, rice exports are expected to stay robust at 5.8 million tons. Meanwhile, corn production in 2025/26 is forecast to rise to 9.6 million tons, supported by an increase in cultivated area and assuming average yields.
