# COCERAL unveils 2024 crop forecast | Miller Magazine

> COCERAL's first 2024 forecast puts the EU-27 plus UK total grain crop at 281.7 million tons, down from 287.1 million in 2022. Wheat is projected at 139.4 million tons, flat with 2023, with France and Ukraine down and Spain sharply up after heavy rain disrupted autumn sowing.

## Why it matters

A roughly stable EU wheat crop with weaker French and Ukrainian output offers limited support to feed grain prices, so the impact on buyers' costs is modest and mostly sentiment-driven.
