# E.U. grain crop revised up for 2017-18 | World-grain.com | December 08, 2017 15:03 | World Grain

> A USDA GAIN report raised the 2017-18 EU-28 total grain crop by 2 million tonnes to 304 million tonnes, with wheat at 152.5 million tonnes. The increase reflects better wheat and corn outlooks, particularly in France, the UK and Poland, while EU opening stocks remain at a multi-year low.
