In fact, a record amount of wheat supply is projected for 2020, with the biggest contributors on this list of the largest wheat-producing countries in the world. Although other industries have been affected by the virus through cut-backs, wheat production is flourishing. Easy to cultivate in various climates, high in carbohydrates, and with more protein than in corn and rice, wheat is a relatively cheap and easily attainable source of energy.

This productivity is the highest ever registered in Brazil. In Brazil, the season ended in 2022, and Conab estimated the output at 10.55 million tons, a record, with productivity forecast at 3.4 tons/hectare and the area with wheat crops, at 3.08 million hectares. With consumption higher than production, ending stocks are estimated at 267.2 million tons, 0.8% down from that estimated in February and the lowest in six years. ![]() Exports are estimated to total 212.3 million tons in 2022/23, 0.4% higher than that forecast in February and 3.4% above that last season.
