Experts Strategie Grains on Thursday lowered the forecast of wheat production in the EU from 4.7 million tonnes to 127.7 million tons, and called catastrophic yields in Germany and the Scandinavian countries. But despite the dismal forecast and the depreciation of the Euro prices on Euronext fell again.
