Falling wheat harvest a ‘catastrophe’ for French farmers

Farmers groups in France have called this year’s wheat harvest - the worst since 1986 - a “catastrophe”.

Wheat is worth billions of dollars to the French economy and France had been Europe's top wheat producer, but will now lose that spot.

Al Jazeera’s Emma Hayward reports from northern France.

France can buy all the wheat is wants from Canada - we always have all kinds left to
