Farmers expect lower production levels, with average yields ranging between 2-3 tons per hectare on weaker areas and up to 5-6 tons per hectare on better land. The situation is further complicated by a strong forint and unfavorable market conditions, which limit Hungarian farmers' ability to benefit from rising global grain prices. Globally, the International Wheat Council has slightly increased its forecast for corn production but noted that overall consumption is growing at a similar rate, meaning there may be little to no increase in surplus available for international trade. In Germany and France, early harvesting has begun, with some reports indicating higher yields due to larger planting areas, although wheat production is expected to decline after last year’s record harvest.
