With no end in sight to the war in Ukraine and tight global stocks, uncertainty continues to hang over agricultural markets. Reduced plantings in Ukraine mean that other countries will need to produce additional grains and oilseeds to help rebuild global stocks and moderate price levels. This webinar will focus on crop prospects in the Northern hemisphere.  Experts will address crop and weather conditions in key wheat, corn and oilseed producing regions including the US and Canada, the EU and Black Sea, North Africa and China.

This is the third event in the IFPRI-AMIS seminar series on Making sense of food and Agriculture Markets.
