World coarse grain supplies for 2007/08 are projected higher this month.  Global coarse grain production is raised 4.3 million tons with a 3.9-million-ton increase for corn

Brazil corn production is raised 3 million tons on higher summer crop yields and larger winter crop area.  Adequate rainfall and little heat stress during the summer crop's growing season pushed yields above trend.

India corn production is also raised 0.5 million tons on official government estimates as favorable weather raised yields, more than offsetting a reduction in harvested area.  Corn production is raised 0.4 million tons for the Philippines, in line with government statistics.  Sorghum production for Australia is raised 0.3 million tons as abundant soil moisture supports improved yield prospects for what is expected to be a record crop. 

Barley production is raised for China and Australia.
