Record U.S. Corn Yields Propel Exports Amid Global Production Setbacks

The August 2024/25 U.S. corn outlook presents a scenario of increased supplies, boosted exports, and slightly tighter ending stocks.


Key Points,


  • U.S. corn production is up by 47 million bushels to 15.1 billion, driven by a record yield of 183.1 bushels per acre.

  • Global coarse grain production is forecast to decrease by 8.1 million tons to 1.504 billion tons.

  • U.S. corn exports are projected to increase by 75 million bushels to 2.3 billion, bolstered by strong competitive positioning.

On the global stage, coarse grain production for 2024/25 is forecast to drop by 8.1 million tons, with significant reductions in foreign corn production in the EU, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, and Moldova due to adverse weather conditions, including extreme heat and dryness.


The U.S. is set to see a rise in corn exports by 75 million bushels to 2.3 billion, capitalizing on its competitive position in the global market amid relatively low world prices. Conversely, global trade is experiencing shifts with reduced exports from the EU, Serbia, and Ukraine, while imports have been adjusted down for several countries including Iran, Chile, and Egypt.


The U.S. corn market is demonstrating resilience with record yields and increasing export potential, despite global challenges. The outlook for foreign production is less optimistic, with significant reductions in key regions affecting global supply dynamics and pushing down global corn stocks.
