EU: Either more water or more drought than usual

Published 2023년 5월 23일

Tridge summary

From April 1 to May 14, 2023, the European Commission (MARS Bulletin) reported mixed meteorological conditions that impacted EU crop yields. Despite some areas experiencing dryer or wetter than average conditions, the majority of regions are expected to have a good yield outlook. However, the Iberian Peninsula is experiencing significant drought, leading to decreased yield forecasts for all major crops. Excess rainfall and colder temperatures in regions from Ireland to Bulgaria and Ukraine have delayed the planting of summer crops. While this excess rainfall poses challenges for field operations, it has also resulted in favorable soil moisture and groundwater levels. At the EU level, expected yields for 2023 are higher than the average of the last 5 years for all productions except durum wheat and spring barley.

From April 1 to May 14, 2023, which is the period that includes the latest bulletin on the state of the harvests in the EU, prepared by the European Commission (MARS Bulletin), it was marked by patterns of strong meteorological contrasts or drier conditions or wetter than usual conditions. Although crops were affected in many areas, a good yield outlook remains in most regions, except for the Iberian Peninsula, where dry conditions have intensified. In both Spain and Portugal, yield forecasts for all major crops have fallen well below last year's low level. In the area stretching from Ireland to Bulgaria and the Ukraine there was a clear excess of rainfall and/or colder than usual conditions, causing delays in planting of summer crops and hampering other field operations. An important positive aspect of the excess rainfall is that, from a crop water supply perspective, soil moisture and groundwater levels in most affected areas are currently at a very favorable level for this time ...
