Rabobank is forecasting stronger wheat and barley prices ahead as global supplies begin to tighten. Analysts say weather challenges in key production regions, including the United States, Eastern Europe and Australia, are reducing crop potential while higher production costs are leading some growers to cut back on planted acres and fertilizer use. Rabobank analysts say the 2026 crop year is expected to produce smaller grain supplies than recent seasons, creating a tighter global supply-and-demand balance.
