USDA estimates EU corn production has fallen 10 million tonnes since May, while imports have risen by only 3 million tonnes; it has also reduced projected feed use by 5.3 million tonnes. The article says feed compounders are substituting wheat for corn, which is cheaper on Euronext, and USDA cut projected EU corn use for 2026/27 to 69.5 million tonnes.
Lower corn use and substitution by wheat reduce the EU’s need for imported corn, weighing on corn demand and supporting wheat feed demand relative to corn. This shift may limit the price impact of the EU crop shortfall on global corn markets.
