European Union: Grain and Feed Quarterly

EU grain production in MY 2024/25 is expected to decline from last year’s levels due to a combination of smaller area planted to grains and lower yields affecting all grains except for barley and oats. Imports in MY 2024/25 are projected down considering the ample domestic supplies in net-importing Member States. Likewise, exports are expected to decline as crop projections deteriorate in export-oriented Member States. EU grain consumption is forecasted to grow only in response to a slightly higher demand for both feed and Food, Seed and Industrial (FSI) uses. Lower ending stocks reflect the tight market situation anticipated, particularly for EU wheat.
