Tridge summary

Coceral forecasts a rise in soft wheat and rapeseed production in the EU and UK in 2025, reaching 140.4 million tons and 20.3 million tons respectively. This is due to a return to normal planting levels in Romania and Bulgaria, and recovering yields in France and Germany. However, EU wheat production is expected to fall to 19.5 million tons from 17.4 million tons as a result of repeated heavy rains in Western Europe. Barley production is also expected to rise to 59.7 million tons in the EU and the UK in 2025. EU corn production is forecast to increase to 61.9 million tons in 2025, largely due to an increase in planted area and a return to normal yields in Western Europe.
