Romania exported this year wheat worth 300 mil. Euro, double against 2012
Romania exported this year wheat worth 300 mil. Euro, double against the first nine months of 2012, when they got 146 million euro on the sales on foreign markets, stated at the conference Mediafax Talks about Agriculture, the minister of agriculture Daniel Constantin.
The minister of agriculture stated that this year there was a huge production of wheat and lower prices than last year, when there was generalised draught and the prices almost doubled against 2011.
‘There are big fluctuations of price, given by the market. The state cannot intervene with mechanisms of storage. We can intervene only at the level of the production and we will try to have more relevant help from the state budget. Romania exported wheat worth 300 million euro this year, against 146 million euro in the first nine months of 2012’ the minister said.
The vicechairman of the League of Agricultural Producers Associations of Romania Nicolae Sitaru told the minister of agriculture that the producers do not understand why there are so huge differences between the price on the stock exchange and the price on the farms. ‘ If last year the price for cereals was 25-30 euro at the farms’gates now is 60-70 euro at the stock exchange ‘ Sitaru said.
