The State Hydrometeorology Service forecasts an average wheat harvest of 29-31 quintals per hectare this year, as against 17 quintals last year. Nicanor Buzovoi, chairman of the Grain Producers Association, said the situation in northern Moldova is not so good.

Contacted by IPN, Nicanor Buzovoi said that the wheat fields in the northern districts were affected by the lack of precipitation in the middle of spring. However, there are chances for Moldova to export wheat from this year’s crop, but it will depend on the reaped volumes.
