France's soft wheat production is projected to decrease by 15.4% to 29.7 million metric tons due to wet weather and delayed planting, marking the lowest production since 2020. The expected yield is 0.48 t/ha lower than last year, and the harvested area is also expected to decrease.

However, the ministry has increased its 2024 estimate for maize and sugar beet sown areas.
