Less wheat can grow this year in Europe
Winter precipitation is now being replaced in most parts of Europe by rain, but there are major differences in soil moisture among the Member States. Bad start leaves its mark on cereals and accompanies them until the harvest. More rapeseed will grow. This year’s average yields may be 3 percent higher than the yields of the past 5 years – agrarszektor.hu wrote.
Average daily temperatures were almost 2-4 degrees above the long-term average this winter. The most affected countries were France, Italy, Spain, Romania and Bulgaria. Autumn sowing is generally in good condition, but in the main crop regions of durum wheat, little precipitation is taken away from yields, so this year in Italy, where the most abundant domestic crop is now important, the durum required for pasta production will be far from sufficient. Meanwhile, in the Benelux countries, France and Germany, too much rain is clogging the cereal fields, and they have not yet been able to prepare the soil for spring sowing. In this region, 140 percent of the multi-annual average fell between 1 February and 10 March, according to the MARS European Forecasting System. (Agrarszektor.hu)
