France's 2026 soft wheat harvest is estimated at about 31.5 million tonnes, slightly below the five-year average of roughly 32.4 Mt, after late-season heatwaves hit yields. Average protein content reached 11.8%, with several regions above 12%, which buyers in export markets such as Africa increasingly require.
Higher protein quality supports demand for French wheat as Black Sea logistics disruptions reshape global trade flows, which can firm prices for premium export-grade wheat. The modest volume shortfall versus average is a limited bullish factor for world wheat supply.
