A long 2026 summer drought has cut fodder availability by 35-40% for farmers in the Doubs department of France. A horse and cattle farm in Longechaux must buy 60 tonnes of fodder at about 350 euros per tonne, roughly three times the usual price, and has sold foals early at lower prices to cover cash needs.
Drought-driven fodder shortages in France raise local hay and forage demand and prices, adding to feed cost pressure for livestock producers. The effect is regional and modest for global feed markets.
