What the source says
Among the 44 Low-Income Food Deficit Countries, aggregate cereal output is expected to decline by 1.0 percent in the 2025/26 season, while utilization is likely to grow by 1.5 percent, pushing up import needs marginally year-on-year to 55.7 million tonnes.
Checked: the figure 55.7 million tonnes is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
