# Good conditions help EU winter crops, winter hardiness a concern | The Mighty 790 KFGO | KFGO

> Mild, wetter weather has benefited EU winter crops, according to the EU's MARS crop monitor. Crops in northern and central-eastern Europe have hardened, but limited snow cover around the Black Sea raises frost risk if a cold snap arrives. Rapeseed sowing area rose 12.1% in France and 8.7% in Germany.

## Why it matters

Good crop conditions and expanded rapeseed area point to adequate European supply, which is mildly bearish for wheat and rapeseed-linked meal. Frost risk in the Black Sea region is a potential upside factor if a cold snap occurs.
