Romania has finished reaping its wheat crop for the year, and the harvest is 15% to 18% smaller than in 2021, Agriculture Minister Petre Daea said on Wednesday.

The European Union state, one of the bloc's largest grain exporters, reaped a record grain crop in 2021, including 11.3 million tonnes of wheat. Daea told reporters he expected to present full harvest figures next week.
