At just over 299 MMT, the total MY2020/21 EU grain crop is nearly 450,000 MT higher than the previous forecast, with a near 2 MMT lowering of corn production more than offset by higher mixed grain...

On October 14, the European Commission presented its EU Methane Strategy, in which the main objective is to reduce methane emissions by 35 to 37 percent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels.

The European Commission (EC) eliminated EU import duties for corn, sorghum and rye on August 27, 2020, only four months after re-introducing duties for the first time since March 2018.

The EU’s grain harvest in MY2020/21 is forecast to decline over 11MMT to 304 MMT, in large part due to extremely challenging planting conditions in the UK and France.

At nearly 313.5 MMT, the total MY2019/20 EU28 grain crop is around 2 MMT higher than the previous forecast, with higher wheat, corn and barley production partially offset by a lower mixed grain....

The unprecedented heatwave in June across much of the European Union attracted attention to the outlook for the MY2019/20 EU28 grain crop.

Since 2013, the European Commission has been developing methods for measuring product environmental footprints to harmonize national measures through the Product Environmental Footprint Initiative.

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.

Drought and high temperatures negatively affected oilseeds yields in many regions of the EU. Particularly rapeseed production suffered from the unfavorable weather conditions.

The prolonged and ongoing drought in Northern Europe and the Baltics is significantly affecting arable crop and animal feed production in the EU.

The EU28 grain harvest is now well under way, having started earlier than normal in most Member States due to a very dry spring.
