EU-28: Grain and Feed Annual
The EU28’s grain harvest in MY2019/20 is forecast to exceed 311 MMT for only the fourth time on record, a significant turnaround following the drought affected crop of MY2018/19. Generally good planting conditions, albeit a little dry, on an increased area in the fall have been followed by a mild winter and timely precipitation. More rains would still be welcome but the outlook is currently positive. The much improved production outlook for MY2019/20 sees the EU28 forecast to return to being a net exporter of grain but increased domestic consumption and a rise in ending stocks are still projected.
