(Terre-net) "L’USDA a publié ce lundi soir son premier Crop Progress de l’année après une pause hivernale. Les notations des blés d’hiver étaient particulièrement attendues après le très net déficit hydrique qui a touché le Midwest depuis la mi-février. Finalement, l’USDA a réduit de sept points ses notations de « bon à excellent » par rapport à novembre dernier, à 48 %, contre 56 % l’an passé. Ces notations demeurent toutefois relativement bonnes pour la période et les cartes météo annoncent désormais un retour favorable des pluies à partir de la mi-avril."

(FAO Cereal Supply and Demand Brief | Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) "FAO has revised upward the estimate for global cereal production in 2024 by 7.1 million tonnes compared to the figure of March. Standing at 2 849 million tonnes, the world cereal outturn, however, remains 0.3 percent lower year on year. This month’s positive adjustment is primarily driven by larger-than-previously anticipated wheat outturns in Australia and Kazakhstan. The world output for barley is also raised, albeit by a lesser margin compared to wheat, and is mostly linked to a more abundant harvest in Australia."

(European Commission - ASAP) "In the Middle East, dry conditions since the start of the season have resulted in mixed levels of biomass for winter cereals: very poor in northern Iraq and Syria, average to above-average in central and southern Iraq and below-average in most of Iran (except Khuzestan and north-western Iran). Similarly, in North Africa, prospects for winter cereals are mixed: very poor in west Algeria and Morocco, below average in the central south and south-east of Algeria and favourable in the north-east of Algeria and in Tunisia. Wetter-than-average conditions are forecast for April for both regions (C3S multimodel seasonal rainfall forecast); however, it is unlikely that winter cereals will recover from their poor start to the season in west Algeria and Morocco."

(Terre-net) "Les conditions plus sèches qui ont accompagné l’arrivée du printemps ont pu rassurer mais commencent désormais à susciter quelques craintes, notamment dans la moitié Nord du pays. Les réserves hydriques des sols très confortables ainsi que des prévisions de pluies mesurées et régulières à partir de la mi-avril devraient toutefois limiter les risques et maintenir de bonnes conditions de développement des cultures d’hiver ces prochaines semaines. Dans sa dernière publication hebdomadaire, FranceAgriMer a d’ailleurs relevé de deux points ses notations de blé tendre « bon à très bon », à 76 % (65 % l’an dernier), tandis que les notations d’orge ont été augmentées d’un point, à 71 % (66 % en 2024)."

Le département américain de l’agriculture annonce en effet un bond de près de 5 millions d’acres des assolements de maïs aux États-Unis cette année, à 95,3 Ma, soit les surfaces les plus élevées enregistrées depuis douze ans ! Les stocks trimestriels au 1er mars dernier sont par ailleurs certes ressortis en retrait par rapport à l’an dernier, mais restent sensiblement supérieurs aux niveaux enregistrés lors des précédentes campagnes."

(Eco Times) "Les projections climatiques de l’avenir indiquent que «l’Algérie ressentira davantage les effets des changements climatiques». Le pays va éventuellement subir encore plus de variations importantes des hausses de températures et des baisses conséquentes des précipitations. De nombreuses études montrent que les projections climatiques, élaborées par les modèles de circulation générale (MCG) actuels, sous-estiment la hausse de température et la baisse des précipitations sur le Maghreb. Ce qui montre que les pays du Maghreb vont subir, plus que d’autres, les effets du changement climatique."

For wheat, adverse conditions remain in parts of the Canadian Prairies, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, the Russian Federation, Ukraine, and the northern US, while dry conditions expand into the southern Great Plains of the US. For maize, conditions are generally favourable, albeit with areas of concern in Argentina, northeast Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, and sub-Saharan Africa. For rice, conditions are favourable, albeit with some spot issues in Cuba, Mexico, and Sub-Saharan Africa. For soybeans, conditions have improved in parts of Argentina and South Africa as exceptional yield expectations emerge in central Brazil."

(AMIS Agricultural Market Information System) "Winter wheat crops in the northern hemisphere are breaking dormancy, and maize and soybean harvesting continues in the southern hemisphere. In March 2025, average grains and soybeans export prices exhibited a mostly weaker tone, attributed to easing concerns about crop conditions in major producing countries and geopolitical developments, including escalating international trade tensions. These tensions and trade policy changes create uncertainties for producers, traders, and consumers; risk retaliatory measures; and affect markets with implications for food security. Well-functioning markets are crucial for meeting food demand and ensuring access. As in past episodes of volatility and uncertainty, AMIS strives to maintain and improve transparency and ease access to information, benefiting market actors and policy-makers alike."
