#Wheat: Later cut areas in Scotland & N. Eng have marginally lifted the sampled yield estimate from 6.7 to 6.8 t/ha. National figure remains below trend. Spring #barley is most exposed crop, with substantial ac still standing in Scotland, the NE & NI. Wide farm-to-farm variance.

#OSR: #Harvest is complete & the reported average is strong, although results are widely dispersed. Quality & storage; Variable quality, higher northern moistures imply a pot more difficult segregation & store-management season for growers. More here bit.ly/45UIKDP

Persistent heat & water deficits have materially worsened crop prospects across western & central Europe. Local crop failures now possible in the worst-affected areas. EU grain #maize yield forecast cut to 6.61 t/ha, 7% below the 5yr av & down 5% v last month. #oatt #grains (1/3)

EU grain #maize yield forecast cut to 6.61 t/ha, 7% below the 5yr av & down 5% month on month. EU green maize forecast falls to 37.8 t/ha, 12% below average, raising fresh fodder-supply concerns. #Soybean yields are now forecast 14% below the 5yr average. (2/3) #grains #oatt

The IGC Grains & Oilseeds Index (GOI) has risen 3% since July to a 2+year high. #Wheat is up 2%, #maize 3% on tighter US stocks and disrupted Ukrainian shipments, #rice 3% and #soybeans 4% as Brazilian and Argentine farmer selling slows (3/4) #oatt #arable

#Soybean output is still forecast at a record in 26/27, underpinned by US & Brazilian crops, with trade projected at a new high of 190Mt. #Rice output is cut by 2Mt due to India, though 2027 trade could set a record on African & Asian buying. (4/4) #oatt igc.int/en/gmr_summary.aspx

#Barley #exports were 40.4 Kt in June, bringing 25/26 shipments to 479 Kt. Exports down 32% YoY & the lowest barley export total since 2012/13. #Oat exports were subdued at 1.9 Kt in June, but the season total reached 93 Kt — 46% higher than in 24/25. #oatt #arable #grains (3/4)

In summary: UK grain #trade tightened on both sides, with less imported #wheat & #maize, but also far less #barley exported. Access the full dataset via @AHDB_Cereals here. (4/4) #oatt #arable #grains ahdb.org.uk/cereals-oilseeds…
