BY KEITH NUTHALL
GLOBAL cereal production will be a record 2.04 billion tonnes in 2004, increasing cereal stocks for the first time in five years, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has claimed. Cereal stocks will rise to 441 million tonnes by the close of the 2004/05 growing season, with maize dominating increases. Wheat reserves will grow slowly, while rice inventories will decline. *http://www.fao.org/documents/show_cdr.asp?url_file=/docrep/007/j3877e/j3877e00.htm
