Europe may have the worst drought in 500 years!In this country, corn production has fallen to the lowest in more than 30 years

According to Bloomberg reported on the 18th, after the most severe drought in Europe after 500 years, French corn production will drop to the lowest in more than 30 years.

Bloomberg quoted the French Ministry of Agriculture on the 18th that the output of French corn this year will decrease by 25%year -on -year to 11.6 million tons, the lowest level since 1990.

Affected by bad weather, almost all crops in France except for rapeseed are reduced compared to last year. As the EU's largest agricultural producer, French crop production reduction may further push up regions and even global food prices.

According to the French agricultural consulting company strategic grain forecast, EU's wheat output this year will also decrease. The wheat output from 2022-2023 will be about 124.1 billion tons, while the wheat output from 2021-2022 is 129.8 million tons.

The European Commission Joint Research Center issued a report on the 23rd on the 23rd that Europe may experience the worst drought in 500 years, and has not seen signs of relief. The situation in southeast France and regions in northern Italy is the most serious.

Severe drought and heat waves have reduced the water levels of lakes and rivers in many places in the EU to a new low. The scale of mountain fires is significantly higher than the average level, and the production of crops is seriously affected. Italy, Germany, Hungary, and Romania this year's corn, olives and other crop outputs will decline, which may further push the price of agricultural products in Europe.
