Asya GOCHEVA, Organizational Secretary of National Grain Producers Association-Bulgaria on July, 2nd:
„It has been a long time since we contacted you last time. For this reason, and because the harvest is expected to start soon, I would like to provide you with some information about the situation here. There has been a bevy of torrential rains in Bulgaria the past two months. As a result of these extreme weather conditions with an unusually wet and humid Spring, rye crops have experienced lodging. Nevertheless, fortunately the rye is still in good shape and we expect to begin harvesting within a fortnight. There are photos attached from the rye field which were taken yesterday.“
