# EU Wheat Harvest Well Advanced As Heatwave Enabled Rapid Work | ESM Magazine

> West European farmers made rapid wheat harvest progress during a summer heatwave, though rain has slowed work in parts of Germany. France's crop is expected to be large, and Germany's harvest is estimated at 23-23.5 million tonnes, up about 15% on 2018.

## Why it matters

Fast harvesting and larger crops in the EU's top producers add to wheat supply, which weighs on prices. Late rain that causes quality loss could limit the bearish effect somewhat.
