French crop growers warn farms at risk after harvest setbacks

Adverse weather, including a parched spring and summer plus insect damage, caused a sharp drop in French cereal and rapeseed production. Growers warned that sugar beet yields may also plunge at harvest.

WHY IT MATTERS

Lower French cereal and rapeseed output reduces EU feed grain and oilseed meal supply, supporting prices for imported alternatives.
