EU-27 Cereals Production Down 28 MMT In 2009/10
Copa-Cogeca say that the upcoming EU-27 cereals harvest will produce around 28 MMT less than last year at 281.32 MMT.
That's a decrease of 9.1% on last year, with soft wheat output falling by 10.85 MMT, or 7.8%, to 127.95 MMT, they say.
Barley production is seen down 5.47 MMT, or 8.6%, to 58.25 MMT and maize output down 6.36 MMT, or 10.1%, to 56.43 MMT, they add.
EU-27 cereals output could fall further in 2010/11, they warn, as low harvest prices potentially lead to further reductions in planted area.
