European Union: EU Grain Situation Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   E42021-0058

MY2021/22 EU total grain production is now anticipated at 293.3 MMT. Abundant rainfall in April and May, while bad for timely spring planting operations, improved soil moisture across the EU and alleviated drought concerns. However, mild temperatures have delayed growth across the EU, putting pressure on the new crop.
