The European Commission cut its 2020/21 EU-27 soft wheat crop forecast to 117.2 million tonnes from 121.5 million, a second straight monthly reduction of over 4 million tonnes. Output would be more than 10% below last year's 130.9 million, with France projected at 30.3 million tonnes, down 12%.
Export projections were also trimmed to 25.0 million tonnes from 26.5 million.
A smaller EU crop and lower export availability tighten world wheat supply and support Euronext and global wheat prices, which feeds into higher wheat costs for feed formulators.
