French certified seed production fell across all species in 2026 due to repeated heatwaves, according to the French seed union UFS. Maize reached only 65-70% of targets, sorghum about 70%, sunflower 80-85%, and beet results were described as catastrophic.
Lower French seed output tightens supply of seed for future plantings and signals weaker maize and sorghum crops, which can support feed grain prices if reflected in harvested volumes.
