Global wheat head detection Dataset is the first large-scale dataset for wheat head detection from field optical images. It included a very large range of cultivars from differents continents. Wheat is a staple crop grown all over the world and consequently interest in wheat phenotyping spans the globe. Therefore, it is important that models developed for wheat phenotyping, such as wheat head detection networks, generalize between different growing environments around the world.

From this first experience, a few avenues for improvements have been identified regarding data size, head diversity, and label reliability. To address these issues, the 2020 dataset has been reexamined, relabeled, and complemented by adding 1722 images from 5 additional countries, allowing for 81,553 additional wheat heads. This is the official version of the Global Wheat Head Dataset presented in David et al. (2021).Labels are included in csv. The dataset is composed of more than 6000 images of 1024x1024 pixels containing 300k+ unique wheat heads, with the corresponding bounding boxes.

This statistic shows the worldwide production of grain in 2024/25, sorted by type. In that year, worldwide wheat production came to about 793.24 million metric tons. The most important grain was corn, based on a production amount of over 1.2 billion metric tons. Grain Humans have been harvesting the small, dry seeds known as grain for thousands of years. The two main categories of grains are cereals, such as wheat, rye, and corn, and legumes, such as beans, lentils, peanuts and soybeans. Many grains are capable of being stored for long periods of time, easily transported over long distances, processed into flour, oil, and gas, and consumed by animals and humans. Most grain in the U.S. is used as animal feed, while slightly less is converted into ethanol. The smallest portion is consumed by humans. There has been recent debate about the health and ethics of grain feeding animals such as cows, goats, and sheep, animals biologically better suited to consuming grass. Though more cost effective than grass feeding, some argue this practice has an adverse effect on the quality of the meat as well as on the health of the animal and the consumer. The use of grains in producing ethanol has increased significantly in recent years. Global ethanol production has tripled since the year 2000. Ethanol is a semi-renewable energy formed by the fermentation of a feedstock, often sugar cane or corn cobs. It can be mixed with gasoline and used as motor vehicle fuel. This hybrid motor fuel emits fewer pollutants than standard gasoline.

This year, harvests in the EU, the U.S., the UK, Argentina, Morocco and Ukraine are expected to increase, leading to a growth in wheat production. Even though global stockpiles of grains will remain high, there are boosted expectations for inflation due to forecasts of record demand and increased prices for other cereal grains. The rising global population and bioethanol production are key factors leading to this growth in demand for wheat. Another driving factor is the emerging trend in the EU to use more wheat in animal feed rather than barley.

Canadian wheat farms have grown despite considerable economic volatility through the end of 2024. The industry is highly globalized and reliant on trade, which has improved following the dismantling of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012; the board had restricted the marketing freedom of farms. Demand for Canadian wheat abroad has risen because of its reputation for high quality. Favourable price increases driven by world wheat prices have improved farm revenue and profitability. Improved trade ties with emerging economies have also aided growth by helping farmers tap into demand from new markets. Wheat farming revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 4.7% to an estimated $16.2 billion through the end of 2024, despite a decrease of 2.5% in 2024 because of waning wheat demand. Strong wheat prices have been the primary driver of revenue growth in recent years. The world price of wheat grew by a staggering 43.3% in 2021, followed by 35.5% in 2022, as global supply levels contracted. Canadian wheat prices surged the same year amid an intense drought that cut crop yields, making wheat a rare commodity. Strong revenue growth, combined with technological advancements, has enabled profit expansion for Canada's wheat farmers. Moving forward, a continued gain in the world price of wheat, counteracted some by flagging demand, will drag down revenue growth. Exports will continue to expand, albeit at a slower pace, as external competition from other grains and wheat production in other countries intensifies. Uncertainty regarding global wheat yields will also pose a threat to Canadian wheat farmers. Wheat is susceptible to various weather changes, meaning that industry performance can be drastically disrupted at any time. Revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 0.8% to $16.8 billion through the end of 2029.
