# Harvest report 2026 – weather impact - Teagasc | Agriculture and Food Development Authority

> Teagasc's 2026 harvest report shows Irish cereal production down 11%, from 2.162 million tonnes in 2025 to 1.997 million tonnes in 2026. Lower planted area, dry conditions from June into July and higher temperatures in May to July drove the decline, with the midlands and southeast on light soils hit hardest.

## Why it matters

Irish cereal output is a small share of EU supply, but the lower harvest tightens domestic feed barley and wheat availability for Irish buyers and may support local feed grain prices.
