France's agriculture ministry estimates winter barley area for the 2022 harvest at 1.23 million hectares, up from 1.20 million. Winter rapeseed is projected to rise to 1.10 million hectares, while winter soft wheat eases to 4.92 million hectares.
A larger French barley area adds to EU feed grain supply, which is modestly bearish, though the figures are early estimates and sowing is still ahead.
