France forecasts lowest grain-maize yield since 1991
Original: France forecasts lowest grain-maize yield since 1991 after record heatwaves in summer 2026
France is projecting its smallest grain-maize harvest since 1991, blaming the record heatwaves that swept the country in summer 2026. The forecast from farm authorities points to a sharp blow to one of Europe's biggest maize producers, with observers watching what the shortfall means for EU grain supplies, prices and farmers already strained by repeated extreme weather.
Why now: Record summer heatwaves have damaged crops, and the projected harvest collapse has direct implications for European food supply and prices.
