[QUOTE="AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds, post: 7677216, member: 142623"] In recent weeks, parts of Europe have seen heavy rainfall causing floods. Despite this, EU yield forecasts remain above the 5-year average according to the latest EU crop monitoring (MARS) report. In some cases, the report on Monday increased forecasted grain yields. [IMG]https://projectblue.blob.core.windows.net/media/Default/Market%20Intelligence/cereals-oilseeds/Grain%20Market%20Daily/2021/07%20July/28%20July%202021/Figure%201.%20EU%20yields%2028%2007%202021.PNG[/IMG] Much of western Europe experienced average to wet conditions in June to July. Some storm events, followed by hail, caused severe damage to specific areas. In Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands wet conditions slowed down winter crop harvests, especially winter barley. The impact on barley yields has been negative, but limited. Alternatively, southern and south-eastern Europe suffered hotter and some dry weather, which is turn has hampered yield forecasts for these countries. However overall EU supply of cereals, and wheat overall, is expected to remain strong. It is quality that presents a concern, with durum wheat yields forecast down slightly on the month, but still ahead of the 5-year average. [SIZE=5][B]Quality concerns, who may have them?[/B][/SIZE] In[B] France[/B], stormy weather is expected to cause lodging losses especially in the Northeast. Overall, wet weather at grain filling is expected to cause winter cereals quality issues. In [B]Germany[/B] too, yields look strong. Though extreme rain has caused severe crop damage and concerns for grain quality. The report adds more unstable weather is forecasted for Germany too. Weather going forward in especially France and Germany will remain a watch point. In [B]Ukraine[/B] and eastern [B]Romania[/B], wet conditions into June have caused quality concerns.
