Less wheat is expected this year, but its gluten content may improve

This year’s wheat production may be smaller than last year’s, but its gluten content will improve, according to a preliminary review of Gabona Control.

According to a statement sent to MTI on Monday, harvesting is still to be completed in most places, but the first best-quality wheat samples have already arrived to the laboratory of Gabona Control that is belonging to the Concordia Közraktár Zrt.

Preliminary studies have found that during the last phase of maturation due to the low precipitation, the eyes could not fully develop everywhere and therefore the specific weight of the grains would be lower than the average of 81.2 kg per hectolitre last year. (MTI)
