Tridge summary
The Mars Institute's recent report reveals a downturn in the potential yields of major crops across the European Union, with the most significant drop seen in durum wheat. The average yield is now projected at 33 q/ha, marking a 4% decrease from the previous month's forecasts, attributed mainly to excess rainfall in France and Italy. Other grains such as soft wheat, spring and winter barley, and corn also show slight reductions in expected yields. Potatoes are expected to have the most substantial decrease at -3%. The weather conditions, including excessive rain, warm spring temperatures, and water deficits, have adversely affected planting and growth of summer crops, leading to increased pest and disease pressure. Despite these challenges, the majority of the EU's yield outlook remains equal to or above the five-year average for most crops.

The Mars Institute, which monitors crops across the European Union, has just published its monthly bulletin and estimates the potential yields of the main crops downward compared to the end of May. The most marked decline concerns durum wheat: the average European potential would be 33 q/ha, a drop of 4% compared to last month's forecasts. The yield of soft wheat would reach 58.6 q/ha (-1%), that of spring barley 43.9 q/ha (+1%), that of winter barley 59.6 q/ ha (no change compared to May) and that of grain corn 75.5 q/ha (-1%). The institute expects 31.6 q/ha for rapeseed (-2%) and 35.8 t/ha for potatoes (-3%). It is this “difficult start to summer” across Europe in terms of weather that has reduced yield prospects. The excess rain in the major cereal-growing regions has particularly affected durum wheat in France and Italy, the bulletin specifies, as well as soft wheat in Italy, Romania and the Netherlands. Excess water in the Benelux, western Germany, northeast France and ...
