Bulgaria: Oilseeds and Products Market Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Fall drought conditions led to a three-percent decline in winter rapeseed area planted and could reduce the yield potential for winter rapeseed in marketing year (MY) 2019/20. Bulgarian farmers harvested another good sunflower crop due to favorable weather, with average yields up 13 percent over 2017. However, production is estimated to decline from the previous MY due to a lower area harvested. Bulgaria is expected to remain a growing exporter of de-hulled sunflower seeds, sunflower meal, and sunflower oil. Soybean meal imports are forecast to increase in MY2018/19.
