Smaller German 2023 wheat crop, unchanged rapeseed crop expected

Germany’s 2023 wheat crop of all types will fall 0.9% on the year to 22.31 million tonnes, the country’s association of farm cooperatives said in its latest harvest estimate on Friday, continuing its forecasts of a smaller harvest this year.

The association forecast Germany’s 2023 winter rapeseed crop will be about the same size as the crop last year at 4.28 million tonnes.

This compares to its April forecast of a German 2023 wheat crop of 22.15 million tonnes and a winter rapeseed crop of 4.25 million tonnes.
