Cereals
In 2016, the harvest of cereals in the EU decreased by about 4.4% compared to the previous year, which
was largely explained by unfavourable climatic conditions.

The harvested production of cereals (including rice) in the EU-28 was around 301 million tonnes in 2016.
This represented about 11.6% of global cereal production. EU-28 production of cereals in 2016 was almost
13.9 million tonnes lower than in 2015.

Common wheat and spelt, grain maize and corn-cob-mix (CCM) and barley accounted for a high share
(85.4% in 2016) of the cereals produced in the EU-28 (see Figure 2).
Compared to 2015, EU-28 cereal production decreased by 4.4% in 2016. A decrease was recorded for
common wheat and spelt (-11.5%), rye and winter cereal mixtures (- 6.2%) and barley (-3.0%), while grain
maize and oats increased by about 6.5%and 6.9% respectively.

France accounted for around a fifth of the EU-28 cereal production in 2016. France (18.0%), Germany
(15.1%) and Poland (9.9%) together contributed to 43% of the EU total. Spain was the next largest cereal
producer, accounting for 8.0% of the EU-28 total. Among the EU Member States, France was the largest
producer of common wheat and spelt, and grain maize in 2016, for barley Germany was the largest
producer with 17.9% (see Figure 4).

In 2016, the relatively good cereal harvest, combined with sufficient stocks and a general negative trend
in the common market, led to a decrease in the price of cereals. This went down by 8.5% compared to
2015 and by 21.4% if compared to the average of the previous 5 years
