Major European grains shipper Romania warned that it could export much less corn and sunflowers this season as it prioritizes local supplies after drought battered harvests.
The country was by far the European Union’s biggest corn exporter last season, but output will probably slump significantly this year after dryness destroyed harvests in several parts of the country, Agriculture Minister Petre Daea said in an interview Tuesday.
