Romania forecasts even more record wheat harvest in MY 2025/26
In the MY 2025/26, Romanian farmers could harvest between 13.3 and 14 mln tons of wheat, a record, César Gheorghe, founder of AGRIColumn, said at the Global Grain MENA conference in Cairo (2-3 July).
This forecast significantly exceeds the European Commission’s estimate of 10.4 mln tons. For comparison, in 2024, Romania’s wheat harvest amounted to 9.29 mln tons, which is 3.5% less than the previous year.
The expected record could strengthen Romania’s position as an important supplier of wheat in the Black Sea region.
As a reminder, following an assessment of the crop situation, Argus Media in mid-June forecast Romania’s largest wheat harvest since 1997 — 12.2 mln tons. Favorable weather conditions, an expansion of the sown area and increased yields are key factors in this growth. Despite the delay in the harvest due to the cold spring, warm and dry weather is helping the grain ripen, they said in a statement.
