MARS: Rapeseed yield in the EU will decrease by 2.7%

The European agency MARS lowered its forecast for the rapeseed yield in the EU in its May report.

In the new season, the average rapeseed yield in the EU will reach 3.17 mt/ha, which is by 2.7% less than the average for the past five years.

The decline in yields is due to low temperatures in Germany and Poland.

The forecast for the average sunflower yield is increased by 10% to 2.14 mt/ha.
