Murine rodents have destroyed some 6% of the wheat harvest in Romania, reports the Agricultural Producer Federation of Romania. The loss inflicted on Romanian farmers amounted to EUR 40 Ml.
The rodent population surged due to a ban on rodenticides not authorized for use in the EU-28.
According to the Federation, Romanian farmers harvested 6.4 MMT of wheat this year. The crop should have been much higher, but for murine rodents that destroyed 400 KMT of wheat.
