For the first time in three-quarters of a year, wheat closed below €200 on the Matif. A fitting end to the mediocre harvest year of 2024. Wheat could not be sown at first due to rain and is then flooded. Yields are low and the price is worthless. For a farmer, 2024 is a growing year to quickly forget. The current season brings weather challenges of a completely different nature. Drought is a problem in various major growing areas worldwide. And then there's the trade war looming over the market.
