Extreme weather in Western Europe led to the second downward revision in two months of the EU grain harvest forecast. This was stated by EU Agriculture Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski speaking to ministers meeting in Brussels. “The prolonged drought is likely to have an impact on the crop of some cereals this year,” said the Polish Commissioner, recalling the importance of European oilseed and grain production in the face of the expected drop in supplies from Ukraine on next year. “Furthermore – he added – in several Member States heavy rains and hail have been observed, in some cases these rains have been beneficial for the crops, in others they have been harmful, due to their intensity”. “Although the general situation remains good – he concluded – this climate-related instability has affected production prospects in some regions and our latest cereal production forecasts have been reduced by 2 million tons for the second consecutive month, reaching 293. , 8 million tons “.
