Agricultural unions in southern and central France are asking the government for emergency support after prolonged dry weather and water restrictions damaged autumn crops. The dry spell is adding to pressure on French farm production.
Lower French output from drought would tighten EU grain supplies and could give modest support to wheat prices. The request for aid alone is unlikely to move markets.
After 1,072 past bullish weather events, Wheat (SRW) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (55% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.3%), and +0.3% over 20.
