European Union: EU Crop Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

At just over 299 MMT, the total MY2020/21 EU grain crop is nearly 450,000 MT higher than the previous forecast, with a near 2 MMT lowering of corn production more than offset by higher mixed grain, oats and rye production. Forecast food, seed and industrial (FSI) usage is lowered 2 MMT, as are imports. For imports, these are now forecast lower due to the increased availability of feed quality grains within the EU in MY2020/21, especially due to reduced import demand from Spain, traditionally a significant importer, due to its own larger grain crop and increased forage availability.
