JRC MARS Bulletin - Crop monitoring in Europe, September 2019
Vol. 27 No. 9
Reduced yield outlook for maize and sunflowers
According to the Bulletin - Crop monitoring in Europe, hot and regionally dry conditions negatively impacted the final part of the - hitherto very positive - summer crops growing season in south-eastern Europe.
This, combined with continued challenging conditions in large parts of central and western Europe, has resulted in an overall mediocre yield outlook for summer crops at EU level.
The yield forecasts for grain maize and sunflowers have both fallen by approximately 4%.
The grain maize yield forecast is now practically at the 5-year average.
Sunflowers are the only summer crop addressed in the Bulletin that still has a positive yield outlook at EU level, above the 5-year average.
This issue of the Bulletin features a special section on rice, for which the EU outlook is average.
