26/05/11 -- The IGC are out today with a raft of production numbers on the global grains front. Here's a little sampler of how they see things currently.

Their EU-27 wheat production estimate was lowered 3 MMT from last month to 141.1 MMT, which amazingly still represents a 4.2% increase on last season. France will still manage to produce a 39 MMT crop (up 2% on 2010), with Germany chipping in with 24.5 MMT (also up 2%) and the UK with 15.7 MMT (up 4%), they say.

Do you want to go on? Barley output is seen at 54.3 MMT, 2% up on last year. France will produce 10.0 MMT of that (down 2%), Germany 9.5 MMT (down 9%) and the UK 5.3 MMT (up 2%).

Do you still want to go on? Nah there's not much point is there? They're about as much use an a ejector seat in a helicopter that lot.
