Romanian farmers have finished rapeseed harvesting. 2016 rapeseed harvesting campaign was the most productive ever in Romania.
For more than 20 years rapeseed acreage in Romania has been expanded to the third largest acreage over the reporting period. In autumn 2015, sowing was carried out at the optimum seeding time. In general, wintering of this oil crop was successful, and the following weather conditions led to early ripening and, correspondingly, early harvesting.
