Drier weather is expected to aid winter wheat harvest in the US Midwest, while rainy weather and warmer temperatures will benefit crops in Canada. However, limited rainfall and potential frost are forecasted in Argentina, and high temperatures and rainfall are expected in France and Germany. The Paris wheat market is experiencing pressure due to low Russian export levels and concerns about crop quality. Excessive rainfall in the EU has adversely affected crop development and harvest progress, reducing potential yields. However, conditions are improving in the US and Canada, and planting is progressing well in Argentina and Australia. Global production is expected to slightly increase to 789.1 million tonnes in 2024, with improved prospects for several countries, but world trade has been cut to 197.1 million tonnes due to weaker imports expected in India and Turkey.
