Above-average winter crop yield expectations
Yield expectations for winter crops are above average for Romania, Bulgaria, France, Spain, Ireland, the Nordic countries and the Baltic countries, thanks to a sufficient water supply along the season. Around-average yields are expected in Germany, Poland and Hungary. Only in Italy and Türkiye are reduced yields due to heat and water stress likely.
Summer crop development in south-eastern Europe has been constrained by persistent rain deficit and high temperatures, notably in Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, less prominently in southern Spain and in Italy. Biomass accumulation is below average, and yield reductions are expected.
Excessive rainfall in Finland and Estonia is complicating fieldwork and raising concerns about localised crop diseases.
The spread of cicadas causing Stolbur disease in sugar beet and potatoes continues in Germany, particularly in the south.
As of July, green maize is included in the JRC MARS Bulletin analysis.
