Bulgarian agriculture has yielded enough grain to amply satisfy local demand through the time next year's crop is due, announced agriculture minister Miroslav Naydenov Monday.
About 2.3 tons of wheat have been reaped, while the country needs 1.6-1.8 tons, announced Naydenov.
The amount reaped is 60% of this year's crop, which is expected to be slightly lower than the yield in 2009.
There were worries that heavy rains in northeastern Bulgaria earlier in July would ruin grain crops.
Monday minister Naydenov said that the quality of the wheat will be slightly worse due to the rains, but it will still be satisfactory. On the other hand, the rains would prove beneficial to the corn and sunflower seed crops, according to Naydenov.
