Yield outlook for summer crops further reduced
The exceptionally hot and dry weather conditions in much of Europe continued to substantially reduce yield outlooks for the EU’s summer crops. The crops most markedly affected are grain maize (-8.6% at EU level), sunflowers (-5.5%) and soybeans (-9.6%). Current yield forecasts for these crops are between 12% (sunflowers) and 16% (grain maize) below the 5-year average.
Conversely, the hot and dry conditions benefited the harvesting of winter crops, which saw a slight improvement in yield forecasts.
