France's Ministry of Agriculture expects winter soft wheat area to rise 2.3% to 4.56 million hectares in 2026, and winter rapeseed area to rise 6.4% to a three-year high. The ministry also raised its 2025 grain corn estimate to 13.6 million tonnes, still 8.4% below last year's record.
Larger French wheat and rapeseed plantings point to more EU supply later, which is mildly bearish for wheat and rapeseed-based meal prices. The corn revision is small and only modestly supportive for EU feed corn.
After 1,006 past bearish report events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.8%), and +0.3% over 20.
