Durum wheat sowing in Puglia is expected to begin in mid-November, concentrated on the highest-yielding land as farmers contend with high diesel and fertilizer costs and stagnant prices. The area planted may fall by nearly 5% from the 240,000 hectares recorded in 2025/26, with marginal land abandoned or shifted to crops such as barley.
A smaller durum area could tighten Italian wheat supplies and support prices, while land switched to barley could add to barley supply and weigh on its prices.
