MARS experts predict that in 2026, yields in the EU will exceed the annual average, as winter crops emerge from winter in favorable conditions

Back to all news

Winter crop growth is gradually recovering across Europe. Weather conditions are conducive to this, as most regions experienced moderate temperatures and sufficient soil moisture in February, according to experts from the European MARS agency.

In the southwest and some eastern regions of Europe, excessive rainfall in February led to local flooding and excess moisture, but this has so far had little impact on agricultural crops.

In northeastern Europe, moisture deficits are increasing, which will require additional observations, especially given the gradual increase in moisture consumption by plants.

Overall, the crops overwintered well, although severe February frosts in the Baltic countries and some areas of Poland, where the snow cover was small, could have caused local damage.

MARS experts predict the following crop yields in 2026:
