HIGHLIGHTS
- EU cereal harvest just below average but ample global supply
- Significant increase of EU sugar beet-planted area in this first year without quotas
- Strong global and EU demand for dairy products and stable milk prices
- High exports of beef and sheep, while lower pig and poultry supply causes a dip in exports and higher prices
- Rise of the EUR against the USD to affect EU competitiveness on the world market
