Improved yield outlook for EU winter crops
Yield forecasts for winter crops in EU revised further upwards
At EU level, the yield forecasts for all winter crops and spring barley were revised upwards. The yield outlook for soft wheat, barley, rye and rapeseed is now firmly above the 5-year average. Expectations for summer crops are mixed, and bear a larger margin of uncertainty as it is still early in the season.
Warmer temperatures and adequate moisture supply favourable for crops
In large parts of Europe, distinctly cooler-than-usual temperatures, as reported in the May bulletin, gradually gave way to average or above-average values. The warmer temperatures, combined with adequate moisture supply, accelerated biomass accumulation and phenological development of winter crops and spring cereals, thus improving the yield outlook. So far, summer crops benefited much less from these improvements.
