Coceral: EU cereal production to increase in 2025

Published 2024년 12월 23일

Tridge summary

Coceral, a European agricultural trade association, predicts a 7% decrease in total grain production in 2025, dropping to 297.8 million tonnes from 278.5 million tonnes in 2024. This decline is attributed to widespread weather issues, causing the EU-27+UK's grain production to dip 7% below the five-year average and reach a ten-year low in 2024. Despite these challenges, the forecast for 2025 shows a recovery, with wheat production expected to rise to 140.4 million tonnes, thanks to an increase in cultivation area and a return to normal yields in Western Europe. Barley and maize production are also anticipated to see growth, with the EU-27+UK maize harvest expected to surpass 60.2 million tonnes due to higher harvests in the Balkan countries. Additionally, rapeseed harvests are projected to increase, driven by normal sowing patterns in Romania and Bulgaria and improved yields in France and Germany.

Increased production mainly due to wheat Coceral said the expected recovery in production is led by wheat (excluding durum wheat), with production set to rise from 125.5 million tonnes to 140.4 million tonnes, mainly due to increased area under cultivation and a return to normal yields in Western Europe, following a disappointing harvest in 2024. Barley production in the EU-27+UK is set to reach 59.7 million tonnes, compared with 57.3 million tonnes in 2024.
