This report updates grain conditions in the European Union (EU), and provides member state area, yield, and production tables.
Favorable planting conditions during autumn of 2001 set the stage for above average production from most EU member states. Total harvested area for the five main cereal crops listed below increased by roughly 800,000 hectares, with decreases in barley, corn, and rye more than offset by increases of oats and wheat. Germany was the only major producing country to experience a decrease in yields from last year, due to excessive rainfall during a critical period. Maps of year-to-year changes illustrate the trends in the rest of the European Union.
