Hungary's new agriculture minister, Sandor Fazekas, says that the country should produce around 4.53 MMT of wheat this year, although the harvest this year is delayed by flooding. That's a modest increase on last season, where the government peg production at 4.4 MMT.

Flooding has caused a slight reduction in corn plantings this season to 1.127 million hectares, although it is too early to put an estimate on crop size, he added.
