The January 2022 issue of the Mars bulletin by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the Meteorological Institute forecasts a slightly above average yield for wheat and barley in Europe, despite a precipitation deficit and higher than average temperatures in many regions. The yields for common wheat in Europe are projected at 5.89 tons per hectare, with the Netherlands expecting 9.12 tons per hectare, and the yield for sugar beets is anticipated to surpass the multi-year average by more than 5%. However, some areas, especially potatoes, could benefit from more moisture for a good initial development.
