COCERAL: Cereal production could reach 18.6 million tonnes in Spain in 2025

Published 2024년 12월 23일

Tridge summary

European grain traders (COCERAL) have forecasted a 12% decrease in cereal production in Spain by 2025, totaling 18.6 million tonnes, due to lowered average yields. This estimate, which anticipates a slight expansion in sown area, replaces the Ministry of Agriculture's projection of 19.8 million tonnes for the same year. The forecast also expects a 6% increase in the European Union's total grain production to 275 million tonnes in 2025, driven by higher average yields and a minor expansion in sown areas, especially in soft wheat production. Major EU grain-producing countries like France, Germany, and Romania are expected to see production upticks, while Poland's production is projected to remain stable. The UK and Ukraine are also set to experience production growth, reaching 22.9 million tonnes and 56.8 million tonnes, respectively.

This figure would represent a 12% decrease compared to the 21.2 million obtained in the previous harvest and would be due to a drop in average yields, which would not be offset by the estimated increase in the area devoted to these crops. In any case, the figures from European grain traders are very preliminary and are subject to revision as sowing progresses and subsequently the development of the crops. On the other hand, the harvest estimate handled by COCERAL for Spain in 2024 is higher than that of the Ministry of Agriculture (19.8 million tonnes), so the traders' forecast for 2025, if confirmed, would be around 6% shorter than that of the current year. The decrease would be distributed among all types of grain, except corn. As regards the European Union, COCERAL is targeting a volume of around 275 million tonnes, which would represent an ...
