Short-term outlook for EU agricultural markets – autumn 2023 Dear Madam, dear Sir, The Directorate-General of Agriculture and Rural Development has published the autumn 2023 edition of the short-term EU agricultural outlook. This edition of the report presents the latest changes in overall market fundamentals and their impacts on main EU agricultural markets. It also includes updated balance sheets for all of them. Presented prospects take into account the latest available information on the weather developments until mid-September, availability and affordability of inputs (e.g. energy, fertilisers, feed), producer prices, consumer price developments, such as food inflation. There have been signs of positive market prospects, as input costs continued declining (e.g. energy, fertilisers and feed) and the food inflation has continued being stable although at a high level. Impacts of adverse weather conditions and uncertainty of developments in Ukraine could, however, still present upside risks for agricultural production as well as commodity and agricultural prices. Sector specific highlights In more details, the short-term prospects for arable crops (including sugar), specialised crops (olive oil, wine, apples and oranges), milk and dairy, and meat sectors as outlined in the report can be found here: Arable crops Specialised crops Milk and dairy Meat All EU balance sheets are available in the Agri-food data portal only, in the form of both tables and graphs.

In addition, did you know that… … France was the largest EU cereal producer in 2021/22 (more than 67 million t)? … the sunflower seed yield varied in Romania from 0.7 t/ha to 3.0 t/ha between 2007-2018? … that in 2021/22 the largest average apparent use of wine per capita was in Spain and Italy (around 50 l)? … that in 2021, 70% of EU dairy milk production was concentrated in 6 EU countries? … that the two largest EU pigmeat producing countries are Germany and Spain? This, and more could be found in detailed Member State data accessible and visualised on the JRC Data-Modelling platform of resource economics, under EU estimated agricultural balance sheets.
