The Argus France wheat crop tour found 2026-27 yield potential in Aube and Seine-et-Marne about 5pc below the seven-year average at roughly 7.6 and 7.8 t/ha. The shortfall comes mainly from spring drought affecting shallower soils, and crops are now mature and entering harvest.
Lower yields in key Centre-East regions reinforce concern about the French crop and support wheat prices, although the impact depends on final harvest results.
