Romania to become US supplier of organic raw materials

As it has for the first time this year exported organic corn to America, Romania could become an important supplier of organic raw materials for animal fodder to the USA.

Chairman of the Bio-Romania Association of Organic Farm Operators Marian Cioceanu told Agerpres on Sunday (Sep 16) that Romania has recorded a big success as a result of its last year's participation in Biofach Baltimore, one of the largest organic farm conventions in the US.

"Although exports were no more than just some containers, I think it is marvellous for a European country to have exported corn to the motherland of corn, the US, this proving the huge potential of the Romanian agriculture to produce under an organic system. The first cargo arrived there two months ago and more corn will leave for the US market from the current crops," said Cioceanu.
