Switzerland Weather hits wheat crop
Switzerland has experienced its lowest wheat harvest in 25 years, attributed to heavy rain and insufficient sunlight. The adverse weather has also compromised crop quality, with much of the wheat destined for animal feed instead of human consumption. As a result, Switzerland will not be self-sufficient in grain, particularly for bread production. Swiss Granum, the country’s umbrella grain organization, has requested a 60,000-tonne increase in wheat imports from the government.
