Rabobank projects Australian wheat production at 21.3 million tons, down over 40% from the previous year, amid El Niño and Iran war fears.
Consistent rainfall begins
Unusually strong and persistent rain falls across eastern Australian wheat regions (NSW, Queensland, Victoria), continuing through June.

The upgrade in Australia’s wheat forecast to 30 million tons offers a bearish signal for Chicago wheat futures, which recently hit a two-year high. The potential supply boost may ease food inflation and shift investor sentiment in grain markets.
