WASHINGTON: In February 2016 wheat exports from Romania continued to increase and were the second largest for this month equaling 407.6 KMT (395.7 KMT in previous month; 304.5 KMT in February of 2014/15). During the eight months of 2015/16 (July-February) Romania exported 3079.2 KMT of wheat against 4118.5 KMT during the same period of last season.
Export gained pace due to the demand of Ethiopia which has already bought 309 KMT of Romanian wheat since the beginning of the season (98.2 KMT over the whole 2014/15 season). Jordan also continues to import high volumes -562.6 KMT over July – February of the current season (654.7 KMT over the whole previous season). Over the reporting period Egypt purchased only 750.6 KMT (1175 KMT over the same period of 2014/15).
