France braces for worst corn harvest since 1980

France is facing its lowest maize crop in over 40 years, with production expected to decline by 35% to 9 million tonnes, the lowest level since 1980. This downturn is attributed to heat waves and droughts that affected critical stages of the plant's growth cycle, along with a reduction in cultivated areas in favor of other crops like sunflower. Additionally, fertilizer costs have risen due to the war in the Middle East. Meanwhile, maize prices remain stable due to abundant global production.
