HAMBURG: Germany's 2019 wheat harvest will increase 17.7% on the year to 23.8 million tonnes as expectations of a recovery intensify after drought devastated last year's crop, Germany's association of farm cooperatives (DRV) said on Tuesday.
Crops in Germany and much of west Europe crop suffered massive damage from a drought and heatwave in summer 2018.
Germany's 2019 winter rapeseed crop will fall 19.0% percent on the year to 2.97 million tonnes after reduced sowings, the association said in its latest harvest forecast.
