# MARS: More wheat despite wet winter - Inside Grains & Raw Material | Boerenbusiness. Nl

> The March MARS report says almost all of Europe had one of its warmest winters since 1979, with temperatures 2 to 4 degrees Celsius above average. Spain, Greece and Italy suffered rainfall deficits of 40% to 80%, while France, the Benelux and parts of Germany had surplus rain. The EU winter grain yield forecast is 5.75 t/ha, 3.2% above the five-year average.

## Why it matters

A healthy EU winter grain yield outlook is bearish for wheat and barley prices and eases import demand for feed grains. Dry conditions in southern wheat areas are a localized risk that could limit upside.
