Heavy summer rainfall has led to a decrease in the quality of new soft wheat crops in France, potentially driving up the cost of wheat flour production. Despite this, the total flour production volume in France for this year is expected to remain around 3.6 million tons, according to the chairman of the ANMF technology commission and the CEO of Moulins Soufflet. The gross wheat harvest in France is predicted to surpass last year's figures, with an anticipated 37 million tons.
