By October 8, Hungary had sown only 11.8% of its planned 1.59 million hectares of autumn cereals, with winter wheat at 7.5%. Dry soils slowed sowing, while late-October rain improved topsoil moisture but left some fields waterlogged.
Winter oilseed rape sowing was 83.1% complete.
Delayed winter wheat sowing raises the risk of lower Hungarian crops and tighter EU barley and wheat supply. The effect depends on weather in coming weeks, so the price impact is limited for now.
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.
