Due to insufficient water in the soil, around 70% of rapeseed crops sown in Romania this autumn have not emerged, but farmers are still planting. They estimate significant harvest losses of up to 50%, Economica.net reported.
In general, cultivated areas are smaller compared to the previous year due to the fact that many farmers lacked financial resources after the 2022-2023 agricultural year.
The farmers claim that the situation is not much different for wheat crops, reports Romania Insider. This comes in the context of complications arising for Romanian grain in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
