Tridge summary

The gross wheat harvest in Germany in 2023 will amount to 22.31 million tons, which is 0.9% less than it was harvested last year, the Union of German Cooperatives predicts. It is reported by IA Grain On-Line. The harvest of winter rapeseed will repeat the result of the previous year - 4.28 million tons. In April, forecasts for the production of wheat and rapeseed were lower. The increase in forecasts is due to favorable weather and a slightly higher estimate of wheat acreage. Wheat and rapeseed crops are now in good condition. The amount of moisture in the soil is generally sufficient, although conditions are dry in some areas in the east. The weather in June will be of key importance for crop yields, according to the Association of German Cooperatives. The gross harvest of winter barley, which is used mainly for animal feed in Germany, will decrease by 0.8% to 9.15 million tons. The harvest of spring barley used for malt production will fall by 11.6% to 1.74 million tons.
