Agritel cut its Romanian 2023 wheat crop estimate to 8.76 million tons from 10.4 million, citing a lack of May rainfall that is expected to reduce yields in the Constanta area by 20-25%. Late planting could also put spring corn at risk, while Constanta port faces long queues and high stocks.
A sharply smaller Romanian wheat crop tightens Black Sea wheat supplies and supports export prices, while possible corn planting delays add upside risk.
