Bulgaria: Grain and Feed Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   BU2021-0022

FAS Sofia increases its estimate for wheat and barley crops to 6.0 million metric tons (MMT) and 590,000 metric tons (MT), respectively, due to favorable weather in April and May. Frequent rainfall and lower temperatures in early April prevented timely corn planting. However, farmers caught up in May and are optimistic about yield potential. Assuming favorable weather later in the growing season, Post may revise its production estimates higher.
