COCERAL's first 2018 forecast puts EU total grain output at 302.5 million tonnes, up from 299.9 million last year. Wheat is seen falling to 140.5 million tonnes, while barley rises to 60.3 million and corn to 61.7 million.
A larger EU barley and corn crop adds exportable and feed supply, which is bearish for feed grain prices. The lower wheat forecast is mildly supportive for wheat.
