# Wheat: The weather factor – a contest of wills - Mundus Agri

> Bulgarian weather has improved for most wheat regions after a delayed spring, though showers persist in the southwest. Planted wheat area reached 1,134,007 hectares by 12 April, up 3.4% year on year. Bulgarian wheat exports for the 2017/18 season are expected to exceed the previous season's.

## Why it matters

Larger planted area and higher expected exports add to Black Sea and EU wheat supply, which is mildly bearish for wheat prices. Hailstorms remain a risk before harvest.
