    Foreign media news on July 15: According to the monthly report released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the global cereal production forecast in 202 is slightly lowered to 2.
    817 billion tons, but it is still 1.
    7% or 47.
    8 million tons higher than in 2020.
    It will be a record high
    .
    The forecast value of cereal production this month is slightly lowered, mainly because the global coarse grain production is expected to be 1.
    513 billion tons, which is 3 million tons lower than the previous month's forecast
    .
     
    The sharp decline in the forecast of corn production in Brazil is the main reason for the decline in global production, because the long-term drought in Brazil has affected the yield potential of corn
    .
    Global barley production forecast data has also been revised down, because the EU planted area is lower than previously expected, coupled with the general drought in some countries in the Near East, yield potential decline
    .
    These declines exceeded the increase in corn production in China, Russia and Ukraine
    .
     
      Due to the dry weather in the Near East, which reduces the yield potential, the global wheat production forecast for this month has been revised down slightly
    .
    Therefore, the global wheat production forecast for 2021 is revised down by 1 million tons to 784.
    7 million tons, which is still an increase of 1.
    2% year-on-year

    These increases exceed the EU’s decline
    .
    The EU's limited irrigation water sources restrict the scale of Spanish cultivation
    .
    Therefore, rice production in 2021 will reach a record 519.
    5 million tons, an increase of 1.
    0% over 2020
