Bulgaria's grain balance is guaranteed

Bulgaria's Minister of Agriculture Desislava Taneva said that she was definitely not worried about the grain balance of Bulgaria and the prices of bread. The drought at the beginning of the year led to a 71% lower yield than last year's in the country's granary - the region of Dobrudja. 

In Eastern Bulgaria, yields are between 45 and 53 percent lower. Currently, 55% of the harvest has been harvested. 
According to European forecasts, Bulgaria should harvest 5 million tonnes of wheat. 
Our forecasts are more modest and amount to 4.5-4.9 million tonnes. There will probably be a slight decline, but for domestic consumption - for bread, feed and seeds we need about 1.6 million tonnes. We will again be able to export 3 million tonnes, Taneva said.
