Bulgaria: Grain Market Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   BU2025-0008
Prospects for winter grain crops in Bulgaria are currently optimistic due to favorable weather and larger planted area. Currently, FAS/Sofia estimates the marketing year (MY) 2025/26 wheat crop at 7.0 million metric tons (MMT) and the barley crop at 1.0 MMT, levels similar to those in the previous season. However, there is a potential for even further increases in average yields and production if favorable weather continues until the harvest starts in June/July. Expectations for the corn crop are for smaller area planted but a recovery in yield and production, after a record low crop in MY 2024/25.
