[1/2] A view of the cereal terminal with grain silo in the Black Sea port of Constanta, Romania, May 11, 2022.
The harvest season begins around July, when Ukraine's Black Sea grain corridor could collapse, and it typically runs until October.
At its peak, Constanta port handled roughly 25 million tones of grain exports a year.
Agritel estimates its wheat harvest at 8.76 million tonnes, while grain trade association Coceral sees it at 9.57 million tonnes and Romanian consultancy AGRIColumn at 10.5 million tonnes.
By comparison, Romanian consultancy AGRIColumn expects Romania will have up to 21 million tonnes of grains and oilseeds available to export in the 2023/2024 season.
