# EU drops sunflower forecast  : The Daily Digest

> The EU Commission lowered its 2017 sunflowerseed forecast to 9.0 million tonnes from 9.2 million in September, due to hot, dry weather in Romania and Hungary. The EU crop is still up 0.54 million tonnes from 2016 as yields are running about 20% above last year.

## Why it matters

A smaller EU sunflower crop reduces domestic supply for crushers and tightens sunflower meal availability in Europe, modestly supportive for prices.
