The FINANCIAL — According to operators of the Bulgarian market, the production volumes of wheat in the country in 2011 will reach the level of 4.6 mln tonnes compared to 4 mln tonnes last year.
Sufficient volumes of precipitation became the main reason for such high forecast, which has a beneficial effect on the yield of the reporting grain.
To date, agrarians almost finished the harvesting of wheat in Bulgaria and harvested the grain throughout 99.4% of the planned areas. To date agrarians produced 4.25 mln tonnes of wheat. The average grain yield totaled 40.9 c/ha as opposed to 36 c/ha last year.
Experts of Bulgaria National Grain Service commented that the volume of wheat of flour milling quality exceeded the previous year results by 30%, reaching 53% of the general volume of produced wheat.
As a reminder, in July 2011 analysts of IGC published the forecast of wheat production in the country in 2011 at the level of 4.4 mln tonnes against 4.2 mln tonnes a month earlier.
