EC revises downward Romania’s grain crop forecast

Romania’s agricultural sector faces significant setbacks this year, with the European Commission revising crop yield forecasts further downward due to severe drought and heavy rainfall in key producing regions.

Grain corn yields are projected to drop to 3 tonnes per hectare - a 10% reduction from last month’s forecast and a staggering 36% decrease compared to last year, Economica.net reported. This figure also accounts for a 38% drop against the five-year average.
