The French wheat exports decreased due to a bad harvest, the conflict with Algeria and rivalry with Russia. This decline also affects exports to Morocco. According to professional data, the recent campaigns have led to the worst exports for decades.
Due to the lower grain sale this year, producers cannot achieve higher prices, since the export markets are still well cared for thanks to the recorders in other parts of the world. Exports could also burden the French economy after those affected by the rain were estimated last year, according to the national statistics office, estimated to grow an estimated 0.2 points.
This month, the Franceagrer Agricultural Office retained its forecast for soft wheat deliveries outside the EU for the 2024/25 season from July to June at 3.5 million tons, which is a decrease of two thirds per year compared to last season and the lowest volume in this Century.
In important markets there were considerable declines in the export volume. After France has shipped millions of tons to Algeria and China in recent years, in 2024/2025 it has so far only sent one load to Algeria and none to China. French sales have more than halved in Morocco. China has reduced its imports and focused on Australia, while Morocco may import more Russian wheat than French wheat.
