FranceAgriMer data cited in the article show French soft wheat rated good or excellent fell six percentage points week over week to 68% as of June 29, while harvest progress advanced from 7% to 26%. Winter barley harvest progress rose to 83%, and quality ratings also declined for winter and spring barley and durum wheat; durum harvest reached 55%.
Lower crop condition ratings increase concern about the share of milling-quality wheat and may support quality premiums, while rapid harvesting brings more near-term grain to market and can pressure prices. The article’s June 29 figures are inconsistent with its November 7 publication date, but the text does not explicitly establish that the story itself is older.
