Analysts Groupe ODA once again has lowered the forecast of wheat production in France this year by 2.2 million tons to 28.2 million tons. The realization of such a forecast the figure will become the minimum in the country for the last 28 years.
Adjustment due to a significant reduction in yield of French grain, due to excessive and prolonged rainfall and the deterioration of the light conditions during the growing season, which prevented the normal development of wheat and led to a significant spread of diseases of crops, and significant deterioration in the quality of wheat.
In addition to France, the yield of wheat may decline in Germany. Presumably the reduction will occur by 10-20%.
The gross grain harvest will be reduced in the UK. As a result, total production volume of wheat in Europe this year will be significantly below last year's record harvest.
