The grain harvest season has officially begun in Latvia. Farmers in the Zemgale region have started harvesting the first barley and transporting it to grain storage towers in Dobele.

Currently, industry representatives assess the harvest volume as good, indicating a successful growing season. Grain prices have also seen a slight increase, providing some optimism for farmers.

However, this year, fluctuating fuel prices are causing higher expenses for farmers, affecting both harvesting and transportation costs. Despite the positive assessment of harvest volume, the instability in fuel prices adds additional pressure on the sector.
