France has taken the third place in the ranking of EU wheat exporters since the beginning of the agricultural season (July 1) and Bulgaria dropped to fourth place with 877,000 tons. This is what data from the European Commission show. Romania remains first with 1.35 million tons, followed by Poland with 1.03 million tons and France with 939 thousand tons.

"The market for Bulgarian grain from the new harvest has slowed down and export deals are difficult to realize at the moment," the chairman of the Bulgarian Farmers Union, Georgi Stoyanov, said a few days ago. 

According to him, the main reason is the low price of wheat on international markets and the high cost of production in this country.
