Summary
Spanish agricultural cooperatives significantly lowered their forecast in July: The grain harvest is now estimated to be around 18.6 million tonnes – almost two million tonnes less than expected in May and around 30 per cent below the exceptionally good harvest last year, which reached almost 27 tonnes. According to the state weather service Météo France, July was the hottest in France since weather records began in 1900. In many places, temperatures above 40 degrees have been recorded.
Furthermore, According to the farmers’ association, winter wheat remains the most important crop with around 2.9 million hectares and a 48 percent share of the grain area in Germany. The French vegetable breeders’ association Légumes de France warned of failures of up to 50 percent and losses of tens of millions of euros. After it had already rained little in June, 70 percent less precipitation fell in July than usual.
In addition, The research network World Weather Attribution describes possible consequences: “Historical crop losses (...) together with the ongoing global conflicts could raise food prices and disproportionately hit low-income households.” “Companies sound the alarm” For this year’s grain harvest in Germany, a below-average result is expected, says Stefanie Sabet, General Secretary of the German Farmers’ Association.
