In 2015/16, human food and animal feed consumption are both expected to rebound moderately from the lower than normal levels of 2014/15, with tight supplies potentially restricting faster growth. Food use is seen recouping the previous year's losses, rising by around 2%, to 30.3m t, aided by likely weaker prices and population growth.
