The European Commission outlook projects EU cereal output in 2017/18 rising 1.5% to almost 300 million tonnes, still 1.6% below the five-year average. Maize is forecast at 59 million tonnes, 8% below average, and EU cereal ending stocks are expected to fall 4.2%.
Below-average EU cereal and maize output and falling ending stocks tighten the EU feed grain balance, supporting import demand and prices for corn and barley substitutes.
