> Drought in eastern Bulgaria is affecting sunflower kernel development, raising concern that kernels will be small as they were last year. Market players still expect an average yield, with the EU crop estimated at 10.45 million tonnes. Farmgate in-shell prices fell to EUR 332 per tonne as harvest approaches.
