Romania: Romania’s Grains Export Availability Set to Fall
Excessive dryness in some areas or substantial rainfall in others prevented farmers from planting winter crops in optimal conditions, which resulted in wheat and barley area declines. Spring heavy and continuous rainfall delayed agricultural work reducing the growth potential for winter crops. Low temperatures and rainfall are delaying corn plantings. Prospects for lower yields are expected to reduce Romania’s export capacity for wheat, corn and barley by 12 percent in MY 2015/16. Abundant grains in MY 2014/15 generated another boost of Romanian grain exports.
