The French agricultural office FranceAgriMer maintained its projection for French soft wheat exports to countries outside the European Union in the 2025/26 season unchanged on Wednesday (15). The estimate remained at 7.10 million tons, a volume that, if confirmed, will represent more than double that shipped in the 2024/25 season. The expected increase reflects the recovery of French supply after the weak 2024 harvest, which had severely limited exports in the previous cycle. On the other hand, the agency raised its estimate for French soft wheat shipments within the European Union in 2025/26. The new projection rose to 7.70 million tons, compared to 7.57 million in the previous report. The volume represents a 13% increase compared to the previous season. The office also revised upward its projections for ending stocks for other grains, forecasting 1.46 million tons for barley (compared to 1.38 million tons) and 2.36 million tons for corn (compared to 2.33 million tons).
