FAO/GIEWS - Foodcrops & Shortages 10/00 - BULGARIA (15 September)
In Bulgaria, the wheat harvest is complete and output is officially estimated at 3.1 million tonnes, similar to the previous year’s crop. Coarse grains output is set to drop, however, reflecting the adverse effect of spring drought and a summer heat wave on developing maize crops. Bulgaria normally produces about 1.6 million tonnes of maize but latest indications suggest this year’s crop could fall well below 1 million tonnes.
