Bulgaria: Smallest Sunflower Crop in a Decade to Severely Impact Bulgarian Crush and Product Exports
FAS/Sofia estimates a reduction in Bulgarian oilseeds crops in marketing year (MY) 2024/25 due to extremely hot and dry weather conditions in July and August. FAS/Sofia estimates the rapeseed crop at 190,000 metric tons (MT), down nine percent from last year and 36 percent from two years ago.
The EU-28 sugar production for food purposes for MY 2016/17 is forecast at 16.5 million MT in raw sugar equivalent (RSE), with another 0.9 million MT produced for industrial purposes.
Bulgarian farmers increased wheat planted area in MY2016/17 by 9% as of December 2015. Winter barley planting had a decline of 2.2%.
Following a double digit decline in total oilseed production in MY2015/16 due to summer heat and drought, Bulgarian farmers are ready to expand planted areas under sunflower and rapeseed in MY2016/17.
