FLOODS and the Romanian wheat Crop

Since we were talking about water... and how important, essential and benefic is the water for our life, body and health…here is some dramatic info and news. Sometimes there is TOO MUCH WATER:

The heavy floods in the recent days may slash Romania's 2005 wheat crop estimate of 7.6 million tones by more than 20 percent, Agriculture Minister Gheorghe Flutur said on Monday.

Romania is today one of the major cereal producers in the Black Sea region!
Romania had expected to harvest another big wheat crop this year, which could help the European Union candidate boost exports to traditional Middle East markets.

"The crop forecast could be slashed by more than 20 percent by floods," Flutur was quoted as saying by state news agency Rompres.

The heavy floods at the weekend killed six people and damaged 2,000 homes in southern counties on the Danube river border with Bulgaria.

The affected area, where about 560 people were forced to abandon their villages, cultivates almost exclusively wheat.

Romania harvested a three-year record high crop of 7.65 million tones last year, but prohibitive domestic prices, which exceeded international levels, kept grain exports at a meager 100,000 tones in 2004/05.

Romania put about 2.5 million hectares under wheat last year against two million the year before.
