France’s seed industry association said seed availability for 2027 sowing is reassuring overall, although final availability for some tight varieties will depend on harvest results, sorting, and quality tests. Heat and drought in 2026 reduced seed-crop yields: maize and sorghum were around 65–70% of production targets, sunflower 80–85%, and some cereals and pulses also suffered losses.
Reduced seed yields could constrain supplies of particular varieties and raise seed costs, though the association expects 2027 sowing needs to be covered. The weather-related production losses also point to tighter availability for some seed crops.
