European traders slightly revise upwards Spain's 2025 grain production

Published Mar 17, 2025

Tridge summary

European grain traders, represented by COCERAL, have increased their forecast for Spain's grain production for the 2025/26 marketing year to 19.23 million tons, up from 18.67 million tons, due to higher yield expectations. However, this forecast is expected to be lower than the 2024 harvest. The EU's total grain production is predicted to rise by 6.26% to 274.48 million tons, driven by increased acreage and higher yields. Major EU producers like France, Germany, and Romania are expected to see increases in production, while Poland's production is projected to remain stable. The UK and Ukraine are also expected to improve their grain production figures for the 2025/26 marketing year.

Only corn production is expected to improve compared to last year, due to an increase in the area dedicated to this crop, and rye production is expected to improve slightly. Considering all cereals combined (except rice), the planted area is expected to be slightly smaller in ...
