Spain: Spanish Grain Supply Chain Shows Resilience in Challenging Times

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   SP2022-0017

For MY2022/23, initially good crop prospects after the abundant rains in April were negated by above average temperatures registered in May and June. In-country grain demand remains relatively stable, driven by the recovery of the tourism sector, despite the somewhat lower livestock products exports and the grain prices hike. This season, access to Brazilian safrinha corn will be particularly critical to make up for the shorter domestic crop and the grain supply disruption created by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
