The European Commission's Short-term Agricultural Outlook Report for the 2021/22 season forecasts an increase in the production of cereals, sugar, and apples, with a decrease in orange production. Wheat production is expected to surge by 11.9%, contributing to an overall increase in cereal production by 5%. The production of oilseeds, protein crops, and sugar beet is also anticipated to rise. However, the report also highlights challenges in the pork and poultry sectors due to increased production and decreased demand, leading to falling prices at a time of high costs. The dairy and beef sectors are expected to benefit from good pasture availability.
