Winter barley harvest begins in Latvia – yields higher than last year

Farmers in Latvia have commenced the winter barley harvest, and initial results indicate higher yields compared to previous seasons. This brings cautious optimism after several years of poor harvests.

However, the positive outlook is tempered by significant production costs and uncertain weather conditions, given that most of the crop is still in the fields. The industry emphasizes that after a string of unsuccessful years, a favorable outcome is crucial for the viability of many farms.
