Strategie Grains Tweak EU Grain Estimates

French analysts Strategie Grains say that this year's EU-27 cereal harvest will come in at 283 MMT, down 300,000 MT from their June estimate.

The changes come principally from a slight upward revision in soft wheat and barley production of 200,000 MT each, and a downwards revision of 900,000 MT for corn.

EU-27 soft wheat production will be 126.5 MMT, they say, mainly due to increased output from central and eastern Europe.
