Tridge summary

The USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service post in Madrid has reported an expected decline in the European Union's grain production for the marketing year 2024/25. This decrease is attributed to a reduction in the planted area for grains and lower yields, except for barley and oats. The forecasted decline in the EU wheat crop is largely due to a significantly decreased French wheat crop, along with lower crops in Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. The area planted for wheat in several European countries, including Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Hungary, and Italy, has been adjusted downward, which is not balanced by higher areas in Germany, Poland, and Romania.
