# French Wheat Stocks Seen Hitting 19-Year High As Ukraine Wins EU Demand

> FranceAgriMer raised its forecast for French soft wheat stocks at the end of the 2023/24 season to 3.50 million tonnes, a 19-year high and 37% above last season. Intra-EU exports were trimmed as cheaper Ukrainian grain competes in Spain and Italy.
