According to the latest estimates from the EU Commission, the EU rapeseed harvest is expected to be smaller than previously forecast. However, even this outstanding harvest will not be sufficient to meet the EU-27's demand of approximately 25 million tonnes. According to latest Commission data, the EU will likely harvest approximately 18.5 million tonnes of rapeseed. Like the French agricultural statistical office Agreste, the EU Commission currently projects French rapeseed production at 4.2 million tonnes. Meanwhile, the forecast for Germany remained unchanged at 3.9 million tonnes, a significant rise from 3.6 million tonnes the previous year.
