    Foreign media news on June 27: The European Commission on Thursday lowered the forecast data of common wheat production in the 27 EU member states for 2021/22 from 126.
    2 million tons last month to 125.
    8 million tons, but it was 117.
    2 million tons higher than the output in 2020/21.
    Tons increased by 7%
    .
     
    The market generally expects EU wheat production to increase this year, because after last year’s rains reduced production, EU farmers have the ability to increase the wheat planting area this year, and the weather in late spring will help crop growth
    .
     
    The European Commission maintains the EU's forecast data for common wheat or soft wheat exports in 2021/22 unchanged at 30 million tons
    .

    The lower wheat production data and the higher demand data offset the 200,000 tons increase in import data (current imports are expected to be 2.
    7 million tons), and prompted the European Commission to lower the end stock forecasts for common wheat in 201/22 from 10.
    8 million tons in May to 10.
    1 million tons

    The wheat ending stocks in 2021/22 are still much higher than the 8.
