EU corn harvest forecast for 2023/24

Corn production in the EU is forecasted to reach 61 million tons in the upcoming season, which is higher than the previous season. However, expectations will not be met in Western France due to sowing issues. The area sown with soft wheat in the EU has also decreased to 21.5 million hectares. Harvesting is already nearing completion, with good yields in the west and north of Europe, and lower yields in the southeast.

The latest report from Strategie Grains saw EU corn production forecast for 2023/24 rise by 400,000 tonnes on the previous month, endorsing estimates for France. Production is expected to be 61 million tons, higher than the season's 52.4 million tons.

Experts say the harvest is almost complete and there is a contrast between good yields in western and northern Europe and poor yields in the southeast.

In addition, heavy rain forecast for October has led to problems with winter grain planting next season (2024/25) across the European economy. The situation is particularly worrying in Western France, where expected harvest potential is likely to be missed.

In particular, the EU bread wheat planting area forecast has been reduced by .3 million hectares from the previous estimate to 21.5 million hectares (down from 21.7 million hectares in the previous season).
