Soft wheat exports from the European Union in the 2022/23 season that started on July 1 had reached 11.15 million tonnes by Oct. 23, slightly above a year-earlier volume of 10.96 million, data published by the European Commission showed on Tuesday.

A breakdown of the figures showed France remained the leading EU soft wheat exporting country this season, with 4.30 million tonnes shipped, followed by Romania with 1.58 million tonnes, Germany with 1.32 million tonnes, Poland with 971,000 tonnes and Latvia with 910,000 tonnes.

EU maize imports so far in 2022/23 were at 9.04 million tonnes, more than double a year-earlier volume of 4.26 million.

Forecasters have been raising projections for EU maize imports, as drought has put the bloc on course for its worst maize harvest in 15 years while a recovery in exports from war-torn Ukraine has improved availability.

Spain was the leading EU maize importer so far in 2022/23 with 3.53 million tonnes, ahead of the Netherlands at 950,000 tonnes, Poland with 805,000, Portugal with 775,000 and Italy with 600,000, the data showed.
