Europe Corn Crop May Not Exceed 55 Million Tons, Agritel Says
By Whitney McFerron
Sept. 6 (Bloomberg) -- European corn production may “struggle to exceed” 55 million metric tons as yields in Ukraine and the Balkans region have been “disappointing,” Paris-based farm adviser Agritel said.
Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania, which had hot and dry weather this year, are “especially affected,” Agritel wrote on its website today. On Aug. 31, the European Commission projected that the bloc would harvest 60 million tons of corn.
