This year's French wheat crop is at 36.7 million tonnes, down slightly from 36.8 million in the year 2013, but good crop conditions meant there was scope to raise its initial estimate. Estimate was based on a projected yield of 7.3 tonnes per hectare, against 7.4 tonnes in 2013, and an area of about 5.02 million hectares versus about 4.98 million last year.
