Serbia said it has stepped up inspections of this year’s corn crop following reports that two-thirds of the harvest has been contaminated by aflatoxins.
The Agriculture Ministry “has stepped up activities to determine the condition of this year’s corn crop” because severe weather conditions, including drought, may have resulted “in an increased contamination by aflatoxins,” the ministry said in an e-mailed statement today.
