Romania's maize crop at lowest level since 2007
<p>Analysts consulted by <a href="https://www.zf.ro/companii/cultura-de-porumb-este-afectata-de-seceta-si-arsita-iar-romania-ar-22439697?mc_cid=7d4b413ec6&amp;mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ziarul Financiar</a> estimate that corn production will be around 7 million tonnes, below the forecasts of the USDA, the US Department of Agriculture, and the European Commission, which expected 10.8 million and 10.6 million tonnes of maize in Romania, respectively.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This year's maize production is the lowest since Romania entered the EU, comparable only to that of 2007, another year of severe drought.</p>

<p>Moreover, it is lower than last year's production of 10.9 million tonnes.</p>
