Bulgaria's wheat harvest is projected to increase to 5.7-5.8 million tons in 2021, up from 4.7 million tons in 2020, covering 11,970,000 decares. The average yield per decare is 483 kg, with 87.4% of wheat areas in good to very good condition. Despite a drop in the lower quality group, there's an increase in the first and second groups. Wheat purchase prices are expected to remain high due to global market trends. In contrast, barley production is expected to remain steady at 550 thousand tons, with a slight decrease in harvesting areas. There has been a 9.1% increase in barley exports, valued at $64 million, primarily to Romania and Libya, due to increased international demand.
