International Webinar 2022 - Transformation of Export Flows in the Context of Global Food Crisis - Part 6

Wheat ranks third among U.S. field crops in gross agricultural acreage, production, and revenues—behind corn and soybeans. In the 2022/23 marketing year, US farmers produced a total of 1.6 billion bushels of winter, durum, and other spring wheat from a crop area of 35.5 million acres. The general downward trend in wheat cultivation over the last two decades is due to lower relative returns for wheat, changes in Government programs that give farmers more planting flexibility, and increased competition in the global wheat market. However, the wheat area increased slightly in the last two seasons as rising prices provided an incentive to grow additional wheat.


The US share of the global wheat market has also declined over the last two decades, as the European Union and Russia have become increasingly prominent. Between 2001 and 2005, US share of global wheat exports averaged 25 percent; for the 2022/23 marketing year, the US share is projected at 10 percent.
