2018/19 MY is the third consecutive season for Romania with the growth in corn production. Considering record corn yield obtained during the harvesting campaign 2018, UkrAgroConsult increased its estimate of Romanian corn production in 2018/19 MY.
Obtained volume allowed Romania to become corn producer number 1 in EU instead of France, reports UkrAgroConsult’s analysts.
Estimate of Romanian corn exports in the current season was increased to a new record. Previous record was reached in 2014/15 MY – 5.9 MMT.
