[QUOTE="Farm Business RSS, post: 7643725, member: 82264"] Written by Lydia Turner from Farm Business In its first forecast released today, Copa and Cogeca foresee the EU-27 cereal harvest increase by 1.6% (292.42 million tonnes) as a result of a surge in plantings (52.10 million hectares +0.7%) and better yield prospects than in 2020. For wheat, the start of the harvest will be delayed by more than a week due to low spring temperatures and excessive moisture in recent weeks, which have slowed plant development. The soft wheat harvest could reach 130 million tonnes (+7%) while spring cereals production is expected to be down (-5.4% for barley, -4.9% for oats, -4% for rye and -0.8% for maize) due to lower plantings offset by an increase in the total wheat area (+4.7%) Jean-François Isambert, Chair of the Cereal Working Party commented, “This positive outlook for cereals should allow for the replenishment of EU-27 ending stocks for 2021/2022. These good figures will not necessarily be reflected in the bottom line for farmers as we face rising production costs.” The price of fertilisers is in fact higher in Europe than elsewhere in the world because of the protection by custom duties and anti-dumping measures that cost European farmers €1.6 billion a year. If carbon border adjustment mechanisms were to be added to this, the price of fertilisers would skyrocket, further increasing the cost of agricultural production in Europe, while making the use of imported foods more competitive and attractive.

The rapeseed crop is expected to reach 16.75 million tonnes (+2.7%) while sunflower production is expected to rise significantly to more than 10 million tonnes (+17.4%) and soya to almost 3 million tonnes (+ 20.2%).
