FranceAgriMer publishes monthly supply and demand balances for the four main French cereals: soft wheat, barley, corn and durum wheat. These balances measure the equilibrium between domestic production, domestic uses (human consumption, animal feed, industrial uses, seeds), exports to EU partners and exports to third countries, and carry-over stocks.

The stocks-to-use ratio (S/U) derived from these balances is a key structural indicator for Euronext grain prices. A low S/U (below 10 %) typically signals upward pressure on prices, while a high S/U (above 20 %) points to a structurally oversupplied market. French balances are released around the middle of each month for the current marketing campaign (August–July) — 15 April, 13 May, 17 June and 16 July in 2026. Imports into this page are manual, so the date stamp at the top of the page, not this cadence, tells you how old the figures below actually are.

FranceAgriMer monthly supply and demand balances cover French soft wheat, barley, corn and durum wheat. They measure the balance between domestic production, domestic uses, exports to the EU and third countries, and end-of-campaign stocks. The French stocks-to-use ratio is a key indicator for Euronext operators. Tight stocks strengthen French wheat export competitiveness and support EBM prices. Monthly FranceAgriMer revisions often anticipate USDA WASDE adjustments for the European Union. The price behind the balance sheet: EBM wheat expiry by expiry.
