Diminishing yield outlook in southern Europe
At EU level, changes to the yield forecasts for most summer crops – except green maize - are revised slightly downwards, though remain above the 5-year average. Downward revisions are mainly due a diminishing yield outlook in southern Europe. The yield forecasts for summer crops in western and central Europe remain positive, even benefiting from a slight upwards revision. The outlook is particularly positive for grain maize in France, Germany and Poland.
Southern, and south-eastern European regions experienced continued dry conditions, often accompanied by hot temperatures, which negatively impacted the yield potentials of summer crops. This is particularly the case in large parts of Italy, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece, as well as in southern Turkey.
Rain surplus in eastern Germany and in Poland benefited summer crops, but hampered the harvesting of winter and spring cereals, and caused delays to early sowing activities. In Finland, the overly wet end of summer is the most recent of a series of unfavourable events that reduced yield expectations in terms of both quantity and quality.
Rain surplus in southern Russia, improved the conditions for summer crops.
