EUROPE: A reduction in wheat output is forecast in the EU in 2003 but outputs of other grains will change little compared to last year. Reduced cereal outputs are expected in several of the CEECs because of unfavourable weather for some of the winter grains and for spring planting in parts. Frost, thin snow cover and a late spring in the European CIS have compromised this year's cereal harvest. The harvest throughout the European CIS is seen significantly lower than the harvest in the past few years. In Moldova a very tight food supply is envisaged, following a severely cold winter and dry spring.
