# EU harvest adds to the global wheat dilemma - Grain Central

> The European Commission cut its EU soft wheat forecast to 127.2 million tonnes from 127.7 million, while keeping the export outlook at 30 million tonnes. It also trimmed EU canola import projections to 5.7 million tonnes, and barley output was raised slightly.

## Why it matters

Wet weather and quality problems in the EU reduce milling wheat supply, though the export outlook is unchanged, so the effect on world prices is moderate. Lower EU canola imports reduce demand for imported canola meal and oilseeds.
