Czech Republic: Czech Crop 2018 - Grains Below Average, Rapeseed Up

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Czech grain crop (excluding corn) is the second lowest in a decade due to a drop in yields but with essentially unchanged year-on-year sowing area. For some farmers’ lower grains return will be offset by solid profit from a good rapeseed crop. Rapeseed area and yield increased year-on-year. Czech bakers, beer makers and dairy producers plan to increase prices because of reduced harvest and growing commodity prices.
