WASDE Report

The World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) is prepared and released by the World Agricultural Outlook Board (WAOB). The report is released monthly, and provides annual forecasts for supply and use of U.S. and world wheat, rice, coarse grains, oilseeds, and cotton. The report also covers U.S. supply and use of sugar, meat, poultry eggs and milk, as well as Mexico’s supply and use of sugar. The WAOB chairs the Interagency Commodity Estimates Committees (ICECs), which include analysts from key USDA agencies who compile and interpret information from USDA and other domestic and foreign sources to produce the report. For more information about the WASDE process and data, visit the WASDE FAQs page.

ERRATA: On April 14, 2025, the April World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report was reposted to correct an error in the Oilseeds section text. The sentence, “Soybean crush is raised 10 million bushels to 4.42 billion…” was corrected to read, “Soybean crush is raised 10 million bushels to 2.42 billion on higher soybean meal domestic use and soybean oil exports.” The error was limited to the text section of the report, all numbers in the soybean tables were correct.
