FAO/GIEWS - Foodcrops & Shortages 09/98 - BULGARIA (3 September)
Weather conditions over the past few weeks have been warm and generally favourable for the final development of winter crops and harvesting. Some rainfall in the middle of July was beneficial for the developing maize crop. Wheat output in 1998 is forecast at some 3.3 million tonnes, about 5 percent down from last year’s crop but about the average of the past five years. Coarse grains production is forecast at 2.3 million tonnes, also down somewhat from the previous year but about average.
