Sri Lanka: Grain and Feed Annual

Rice production is expected to recover in marketing year (MY) 2026/27, after being negatively impacted in MY 2025/26 by Cyclone Ditwah. Sri Lanka's economic situation is improving and is expected to boost the availability of key imported agricultural inputs such as fertilizers and agrochemicals, supporting the production increase. Rice imports are also forecast to be lower as a result of a larger expected crop. For wheat, consumption is expected to rise in MY 2026/27 as a result of the economic recovery, with imports also anticipated to increase slightly.
