Bangladesh: Grain and Feed Annual

Despite higher domestic rice production, Post forecasts increased rice imports in marketing year (MY) 2026/27, driven by rising consumption and the continuation of government food distribution programs. Domestic wheat production meets less than 10 percent of Bangladesh's total demand, leaving the country heavily reliant on imports. Post estimates wheat imports at 7.4 million metric tons in MY 2025/26 and forecasts lower imports in MY 2026/27, as higher ending stocks are expected to carry over from the previous MY. Corn import demand continued to expand in MY 2025/26, with U.S. corn capturing an estimated 11 percent share of Bangladesh's import market.
