Dry, hot weather in France in the coming 10 days after several months of little rainfall will cause irreversible damage to grain crops in the European Union's largest grains producer, a technical institute said on Thursday, adding to worries about tight global supplies.
European wheat markets have rallied in recent days on concerns about dry weather in France and some other major producing countries at a time when the war in Ukraine has reduced grain supplies.
"There will likely be a fall in the number of ears, surely be a fall in the number of grains per ear and, depending on the weather in the following days, probably be a fall in the grains' weight," he added. The expected fall in yields would come as French farmers cut back on wheat sowings ahead of this year's harvest, with the ministry last month estimating the fall at 3.9% on 2021 and 0.7% below the average of the past five years.
