Romania’s wheat harvest may rise 23 percent this year, helped by favorable weather and higher investment in fertilizers, Agriculture Minister Valeriu Tabara said. The eastern European country may harvest as much as 7 million metric tons of the grain, up from 5.7 million tons last year, he said in an interview in Bucharest. The government wants to increase exports of all cereals so farmers can capitalize on higher international prices, Tabara said reports Bloomberg.
