The Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit estimates UK farmers face about £828m in lost revenue from the record hot, dry 2025 spring and summer affecting wheat, barley, oats and oilseed rape. The estimate is about 20% below the 10-year average revenue at current ex-farm prices.
Reduced UK arable output tightens domestic feed and milling supplies, which supports UK cereal prices and raises import needs.
