The European Harvest Monitoring Service (MASR) has increased the forecast for common wheat yield in the EU countries in 2025 from 6.08 to 6.09 t/ha compared to June estimates, which will be 6% higher than the 5-year average.

Yield estimates have also been increased:

• durum wheat – from 3.75 to 3.78 t/ha,
• spring barley – from 4.9 to 5 t/ha,
• winter barley – from 5.38 to 5.45 t/ha,

At the same time, the yield forecast has been lowered:

• corn – from 7.46 to 7.18 t/ha,
• sugar beet - from 76.3 to 74.8 t/ha.
