The European Union's soybean imports for the 2024/25 season increased by 7% to 4.43 million tonnes, while rapeseed imports decreased by 15% to 2.22 million tonnes compared to the previous year. EU grain exports, including soft wheat and barley, have seen a decrease due to crop failures and heavy rains, with Bulgaria and Ireland having incomplete export data. Romania is the leading soft wheat exporter to the EU this season with 2.49 million tonnes, followed by Lithuania and Latvia, as France, usually the largest wheat exporter, has shipped only 0.90 million tonnes due to its smallest harvest since the 1980s.
