# EU grain production: European Commission cuts this year's harvest again

> The European Commission's latest 2026/27 supply and demand balance, as of 30 October, lowers EU-27 soft wheat to 123.7 million tonnes from 124.2 million and corn to 47.0 million from 48.3 million. Total EU grain output is forecast at 259.1 million tonnes, 5.7% below the five-year average, with corn down 22% against that average.
