# Case study: EU28 feed crop update - Food & Agribusiness

> The EU28 total 2019/20 grain crop is estimated at about 313.5 million tonnes, roughly 2 million tonnes above the previous forecast, with higher wheat, corn and barley output partly offset by lower mixed grain production. Feed use forecasts were trimmed but remain well above last year, and Estonia posted a record harvest with Latvia and Lithuania near record levels.

## Why it matters

A larger EU grain supply and strong Baltic soft wheat exports add competition for feed buyers and weigh mildly on feed grain prices. The reduced feed use forecast also trims near-term demand for feed wheat and corn.
