# Weather, input costs wreak havoc on EU crops | World Grain

> The USDA FAS forecasts EU 2026-27 grain production at 266 million tonnes, down about 8% from 2025-26, citing dry weather in France, Hungary, Poland and Germany. Corn output is revised to 52.5 million tonnes and wheat is cut 2.2 million tonnes to 133.8 million tonnes, with fertilizer and fuel costs also reducing planted area.

## Why it matters

A smaller EU crop removes exportable supply and supports European and world wheat and corn prices, while higher input costs point to tighter feed grain availability for buyers.
