Argentina's wheat harvest reached 45 percent complete by Dec. 7, ahead of last year's pace, with Bolsa de Cereales forecasting output at 17.0 MMT.
Australian wheat production is forecast by ABARES to fall to 20.3 MMT after rains damaged yield and quality. European Union planted winter wheat area for 2018/19 is expected slightly lower, with dry conditions in Spain noted.
Lower Australian output and a smaller EU area point to tighter wheat supplies, which supports feed wheat prices and competes with corn and barley in feed rations.
