The European Commission's spring 2022 short-term outlook says the Russian invasion of Ukraine has disrupted global agricultural markets and added uncertainty to grain and oilseed supplies. EU cereal production is projected at 297.7 million tonnes for 2022, which could partly offset the expected loss of Ukrainian grain exports.
A large EU harvest and lower feed demand from reduced pig production could cushion the global shortfall from Ukraine, limiting upside in grain and feed prices. Affordability concerns remain high.
