The FAO raised its forecast for the world wheat harvest by 0.3 percent to 789 million tons, partly due to the more favorable crop prospects in Asia, so for example a record wheat harvest is expected in Pakistan. Meanwhile, in Russia, less wheat than estimated in June may be harvested this year due to unfavorable weather conditions. According to the Rome-based organization, there may be more rice this year than expected in June. The FAO now expects the amount of harvested rice to be a record 535.1 million tons, 0.9 percent higher than the June forecast.
