# Corn prices in the 2026/27 season: Germany needs 4 million tonnes

> The European Commission (estimate of 30 October) puts German usable corn production at 3.945 million tonnes, down 14.5% from the five-year average, after drought in southern Germany cut yields by 25% to 40% in some states. Germany must import roughly 3.5 to 4.0 million tonnes as self-sufficiency falls to about 50%, while Rhine inland shipping is disrupted.

## Why it matters

A large German import gap pulls EU and Black Sea corn demand toward export origins and supports EU corn prices. Rhine logistics problems add freight costs but also open an export window for Polish grain.
