# Europe ended the summer crop season with soybean yields 15% below average

> The European Commission's MARS bulletin estimated September soybean yields at 15% below the five-year average for the 2026 summer crop season. It also forecast below-average yields for grain maize and several other summer crops, and reported that drought and excess water hindered winter-crop establishment.

## Why it matters

Below-average soybean and maize yields point to reduced European crop availability, which may increase import demand and support prices. The winter-crop establishment difficulties add supply risk for the next crop season.
