Romania: Weather Conditions Impact Romanian Oilseed Crop

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Weather conditions impacted rapeseed planting in the fall of 2014 leading to poor emergence. Excessive moisture contributed further to plant deterioration. Part of the rapeseed area to be replanted will be covered by sunflower seeds MY 2015/16, which was otherwise expected to fall more significantly as a result of low returns last year. The upward trend in the soybean area is boosted by the recent Romanian Government decision to include soybean among the crops eligible for EU couple support. Romanian oilseed exports are projected to rise by 18 percent in MY 2014/15, but decline in MY 2015/16 by 16 percent due to expectations for lower rapeseed supply.
