The EU rapeseed sowing work has been completed under good conditions, with favorable weather and normal rapeseed emergence in major producing areas. However, excessive rainfall in northern and western France may have disrupted planting and growth, while excessive dry soil in southeastern Europe is raising concerns about conditions in the coming weeks. In areas like Croatia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, and southern Ukraine, delayed sowing and germination have been experienced due to either dry topsoil or severe drought.
