Extreme weather has reduced crop prospects across parts of Europe, with prolonged summer drought and early-autumn dryness leaving yields in some areas 20–35% below the five-year average. Drought delayed autumn planting and worsened establishment in central and southern Europe, while excessive rain and saturated soils disrupted fieldwork in the north; October rainfall improved prospects in some areas but conditions remain uneven.
Reduced yields and weaker crop establishment could constrain European grain and oilseed supplies, lending support to prices if the damage persists into harvest.
