 Unfavourable crop prospects and food supply shortfall
|
EUROPE: Cereal production rebounded sharply in 2004 after the poor drought-reduced crops last year. Weather conditions are generally satisfactory for planting and establishment of the 2005 winter cereals although more precipitation would be beneficial in some southern parts of the region. In the European CIS, cereal harvests, though significantly up on last year, are below expectations to match the good harvests in 2001 and 2002. |
