The French Ministry of Agriculture put the soft wheat area at 4.61 million hectares, up 2.6% year on year, and reduced the winter wheat estimate to 4.58 million hectares. Spring barley area fell 16% to 501,000 hectares, while rapeseed area is forecast to rise 9% to 1.38 million hectares.
Slightly lower winter wheat and spring barley area and higher rapeseed plantings point to modest tightening in French barley supply and a shift toward oilseeds, with limited near-term price impact.
