The European Commission cut its 2017/18 EU barley usable production forecast to 59.5 million tonnes from 62.4 million, citing drought in Spain. It also lowered its maize forecast to 64.2 million tonnes and its common wheat forecast to 141.3 million tonnes.
A sharp cut to the EU barley crop and lower maize output reduce exportable feed grain supply, supporting European and global feed grain prices.
