France corn output falls to lowest in over 30 years

This is a supply-side shock that reaches well beyond French borders: corn, wheat and barley are all revised lower simultaneously, which matters for feed costs, food processing and any biofuel or agricultural feedstock demand that competes for the same acres. The magnitude of the corn downgrade, alongside sharply reduced planted area, suggests the shortfall is structural rather than a one-off weather miss. The open question is whether these cuts are revised again and whether import demand from elsewhere in Europe picks up the slack.
