France's farm ministry forecast 2026 winter barley production at 9.0 million tonnes, up 8% from last year, on increased planting. It projected winter rapeseed at 4.65 million tonnes, little changed, and cut grain maize area sharply to 1.31 million hectares.
Yield projections remain tentative after a late-May heatwave.
A larger French barley crop adds to European feed and malting barley supply, which is mildly bearish for barley prices, while the smaller maize area supports corn.
