This 2008 edition of the OECD/FAO Agricultural Outlook covers the outlook for commodity markets during the 2008 to 2017 period, and brings together the commodity, policy and country expertise of both Organisations. The report analyses world market trends for the main agricultural products, as well as biofuels and provides an assessment of agricultural market prospects for production, consumption, trade, stocks and prices of the included commodities. This publication includes Statlinks, URLs linking to Excel® spreadsheet files containing background data, as well as a special chapter on high prices which analyses whether they are here to stay. The market projections cover OECD countries, as well as other key agricultural players including India, China, Brazil, the Russian Federation and Argentina, and many other non-OECD countries and regions. In total, the projections encompass 39 countries and 19 regions.
"...the single best source of statistical data and forecast analysis for the world's commodities markets. Highly recommended"

Cereals
In spite of the increase in world cereal production in 2007, a tight global cereal supply and demand situation prevailed throughout the whole marketing season. The bulk of the increase in world cereal production came from a record maize harvest in the United States, which boosted world coarse grains output in 2007. Wheat production also increased compared to the previous year but not as much as expected because of unfavourable weather conditions in some parts of the world; especially droughts in eastern parts of Europe and Australia. World rice production increased marginally in 2007, mostly driven by larger harvests in Asia.
