wheat

Romanian Agriculture Minister Valeriu Tabara said Friday that the country's wheat production this year exceeds eight million tons, of which four million tons can be exported.

Romania will export this year over two million tons of wheat and a similar quantity of corn, at prices per ton ranging from EUR180 to EUR240, Romanian Agriculture Minister Valeriu Tabara told MEDIAFAX.

Bread prices might increase starting May this year as higher wheat prices worldwide have driven Romanian producers into exporting, while the quantities sold will be brought back to the country at a higher price, said the head of the industry’s employers’ association Rompan.
