According to FranceAgriMer, as of March 18, around 66% of French soft wheat was assessed to be in good or excellent condition. This figure remained unchanged from the previous week but marked a decline from the 94% recorded a year ago. This rating represents the lowest level for this period since 2020, when French wheat crops faced challenges due to heavy rainfall during planting, as indicated by data from FranceAgriMer's cereal report.
