# Bulgarian Corn Market 2026/27: Strong Recovery but Weak Logistics

> Bulgaria's corn output has more than doubled in 2026/27, to roughly 2 million tonnes from about 900,000 tonnes, after last year's drought-hit harvest. Exports are constrained by low Danube water levels, tight rail capacity and persistent Black Sea risks. EU and Black Sea corn prices remain under pressure from ample global feed grain supplies.

## Why it matters

The larger exportable surplus is offset by logistics bottlenecks, so the new supply reaches port slowly and limits aggressive offers. Ample regional and global feed grain availability keeps downward pressure on corn prices.
