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 note: On May 14, 2025, the May World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report was reposted to correct a sentence in the Livestock section text on page 5. The sentence, “The beef production forecast is lowered as higher dressed weights more than offset reduced steer and heifer slaughter due to the suspension of cattle imports from Mexico,” was revised to read, “The beef production forecast is lowered as higher dressed weights are more than offset by reduced steer and heifer slaughter due to the suspension of cattle imports from Mexico.” The error was limited to the text section of the report; all numbers in the livestock tables were correct.
