# France. “Catastrophic” corn harvest expected 02.09.2022 - UkrAgroConsult

> Consultancy Agritel raised its French soft wheat crop estimate to 33.63 million tonnes but warned the French corn harvest is heading for its smallest of the 21st century at 10.8 million tonnes. Heatwaves and France's worst drought on record hurt maize. Agritel also said the unusually fast French wheat export pace is unsustainable, leaving end-season stocks at a very low 2.2 million tonnes.
