The European Commission cut its 2026/27 EU maize usable production estimate to 47.0 million tons from 48.3 million. It also trimmed soft wheat output to 123.7 million tons and lowered ending stocks to 10.6 million tons, while raising barley and sunflower seed estimates.
A smaller EU maize and wheat crop tightens European feed grain supply and supports import demand, which is bullish for corn and wheat prices and for feed substitutes like barley.
