France’s agriculture ministry estimates that soft wheat acreage for the 2026 harvest will reach 4.61 million hectares, up 2.6% year over year and near the five-year average. Winter barley acreage is forecast to rise 5.9%, spring barley to fall 16%, and rapeseed acreage to increase 9%; sugar beet acreage is expected to decline 4.6%.
Higher wheat acreage points to greater potential supply and could weigh on wheat prices, all else equal. The reported barley acreage changes are mixed, while the larger rapeseed area could increase oilseed availability.
