JRC MARS Bulletin

The objective of the JRC MARS Bulletin is to provide timely, independent, and high-quality information on crop growing conditions and quantitative crop yield forecasts in the EU, to support informed (CAP) policy interventions and to contribute to the transparency of market information.

The Bulletin was first published in 1992. It currently directly implements Article 22 of REG(2013)1306 on Monitoring Agricultural Resources (MARS), and is considered a critical service in the context of the EU crisis management tools. The Bulletin is published monthly.
