Turkey: Grain and Feed Update
Post revised the corn production forecast to 6.1 MMT, an increase of 100,000 MT. The Turkish Grain Board procured nearly 5.4 MMT of grain after a record production for wheat, barley and corn in MY2015/16. Much of Turkey is experiencing drought conditions. The impact is being felt most in Central Anatolia, Cukurova and the Southeastern Anatolian Project (GAP) region; however, the Thrace and Aegean regions are also affected. Traders are expressing concern for the next harvest.
