US corn production to decline by 6% in MY 2026/27
In Ukraine, UkrAgroConsult reported that the latest USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report confirmed a 6% decline in US corn production in the 2026/27 season, signaling a tightening global supply balance and a more volatile pricing environment for the animal feed industry.
. According to the latest USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report, published on May 12, 2026, US corn production in the MY 2026/27 is forecast at 16 billion bushels. This is significantly below the historical highs of 2025 and is primarily due to a 3.5 million-acre reduction in planted area, according to the report.
US farmers are shifting to more profitable crop rotations with soybeans amid rising production costs and geopolitical uncertainty, the report added.
