What the source says

Global cereal production in 2026 is now forecast at 2 980 million tonnes, down 2.0 percent from 2025 but still the second-largest harvest on record, according to the new Cereal Supply and Demand Brief, also released by FAO today.

Checked: the figure -2% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
