Last week, USDA held its 96th Agricultural Outlook Forum.

This year’s theme was “The Innovation Imperative: Shaping the Future of Agriculture.” Presentation slides to the sessions are now available online.

Of note, USDA, Agricultural Marketing Service staff participated on a panel covering the “Black Sea Grain Export Market,” which collectively discussed transportation costs for Ukrainian wheat and corn and dynamic and structural changes affecting the region.

At the Forum, USDA also released its first projections for the next marketing year (2020/21).
