Spain: Favorable Spring Conditions Promise a Sizeable Grain Crop in Spain

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   SP2024-0006
Following three consecutive seasons of tight supply, favorable fall and winter conditions have been followed by abundant spring precipitation across Spain, with the notable exception of the eastern part of the country. The combination of farmers’ decisions to maximize their more drought-resilient winter grains plantings, improved soil moisture, and mild spring temperatures are expected to result in an upward revision of the Spanish total grain crop, currently estimated at 21 million MT.
