Corn crops in southeastern Romania suffer significant damage due to lack of moisture and heat

Corn crops in the southeastern regions of Romania are suffering significant damage due to lack of moisture and heat.

There is a risk of a repeat of the 2007 crop failure, when the crop was harvested with a yield of 1.5 t/ha.

Analysts forecast the harvest at 8 mln tonnes with a probable decline if weather factors do not improve.

In 2023/24 season, Romanian farmers harvested 8.52 mln tonnes of corn.
