Romania, one of the major wheat exporters, could be harvested a record of 8.28 million tons of wheat this year due to favourable conditions for growth, so the estimation of agar consulting firm Agritel. That would be an increase of 4.5% to the previous year's harvest by 2015 that marked then the record.
Romania, a member of the EU with access to the Black Sea, as the wheat exporter competes with countries such as France, Russia and the Ukraine to the large import Nations such as Egypt.
The mild winter and wet spring impacted positively on the growth conditions and the earnings prospects, so Agritel. The company estimates the average wheat yields in 2016 to 4.14 metric tons per hectare versus 3.82 metric tons per hectare in 2015. To assess the protein levels but lower than in the previous year. More rainfall increase the risk of high quality and yield reductions.
