Despite some problems in the global pandemic, the FAO forecasts for cereal production hint at a substantially positive situation for 2020/2021.

The initial data available are inspiring: projections set given the record figure of 2,780 million tonnes, beating last year by 2.6%.

Corn production is predicted to rise by a record-breaking 1,207 million tonnes, and rice production is predicted at 508 million tonnes.
