Tridge summary

The European Union's crop monitoring service, MARS, has lowered its average wheat yield estimate for this year to 5.98 tonnes per hectare, despite difficult conditions in Germany and other countries. This is still higher than the five-year average and last year's yield. MARS has also increased its forecasts for barley, maize, and rapeseed yields, while sugar beet yields have been estimated at 75.0 tonnes per hectare, above the five-year average. In Russia, President Vladimir Putin has announced that the grain harvest is expected to be around 127 million tonnes, sufficient to meet the country's needs.

This would still be 5.0 percent higher than the EU average average wheat yield over the past five years and 4.8 percent last year, according to a MARS service report. The organization reduced the yield estimate for wheat, taking into account the difficult conditions experienced during the final stages of grain development and ripening in Germany, among others.
