# A bumper harvest is the worst disaster. Corn falls by 20 zł per day

> Poland’s corn harvest is still underway, with progress estimated at about 10% in the east and 30–35% around Elbląg, while roughly 80% has been harvested in Lower Silesia. Wet grain and limited drying capacity have led some buyers to restrict intake to contracted deliveries or reject loads above 38% moisture; in eastern Poland, spot prices fell by about 20 zł per tonne per day to 600–640 zł/t on November 4.

## Why it matters

The large harvest arriving with high moisture is overwhelming drying and transport capacity, constraining immediate demand for uncontracted corn and adding downward pressure to farmgate prices. Continued intake bottlenecks could keep local prices weak while harvest deliveries remain heavy.
