A sharp increase in domestic rice prices prompted the private sector to boost rice imports, reaching a record in MY2024/25. However, as persistently high prices have dampened consumption and increased stocks—leading to a subsequent price decline—FAS/Tokyo projects rice imports will decrease in MY2025/26 and MY2026/27, primarily due to reduced private imports. FAS/Tokyo also anticipates that higher use of rice in animal feed in MY2026/27 will result in modestly lower feed consumption and imports of corn. Wheat imports are forecast to decline in MY2026/27, reflecting an expected increase in domestic production and reduced feed demand. Barley imports are projected to decrease in MY2026/27, mainly due to weaker feed demand from a forecasted reduction in cattle inventories. Sorghum imports are expected to continue their downward trend in MY2026/27, consistent with declining feed demand.
