Coceral EU harvest estimates on 2014 million tonnes – compensate countries with good crops. The governing body of the European grain and oilseed trader (COCERAL) comes in his recent EU crop estimate on an order of magnitude by rd. 314 million tons. The result is higher than the may estimate of rd t 312 million European Commission. The International Grains Council (IGC) has end of may the upcoming EU crop rd. Classified 308 million tonnes . In the case of the wheat harvest estimate EU-com and IGC almost identical 153.8 million tonnes during Coceral on 157 Mio.t comes. The main difference is in the higher estimated durum wheat crop of Coceral with especially high increases in harvest in Italy, Greece, France and Spain. The corn harvest prized the EU com with 65.7 million tons, the IGC with 63.7 and the Coceral estimates the upcoming maize harvest only 62.3 million t. influence on the weak corn harvest estimate of Coceral is little increased harvesting in France compared to the weak previous year. Cause is the significantly reduced acreage due to the high rainfall in France. The harvest results will be in the individual EU Member States on the basis of current weather conditions very differently classified. In the Group of countries with a smaller crop than last year about 1 million t is 1st place France with a total harvest of 69.8 million tonnes lower than in the previous year. Increased acreage, yield expectations are lowered significantly. Crop reductions are expected also in Britain, Denmark, Sweden and Baltic States. The harvest reductions to the previous year to sum up over 3.5 million tons of reason is the low precipitation in these areas roughly consistent harvests are expected in Germany, Benelux, Italy, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Higher harvests are due to the favourable weather development in Spain with 4 million tonnes, Poland with 2.2 million tonnes and Romania with 2 million tonnes foreseen. Little modified area, average yield expectations decide the final outcome. Ignored the grain qualitiesthat will have on the countries with high rainfall to beech remain.
