Harvest in Czechia nearly over

This year's harvest in the Czechia is nearly complete, with only 0.35% of grain fields and 38 hectares of rapeseed remaining to be harvested. Despite weather fluctuations, the harvest was faster than last year. Farmers are working with the smallest cultivated area for grains in over a century, resulting in a 2.7% decrease in sown area compared to 2022. The total grain production is expected to be around 7.06 million tons, slightly lower than last year, but sufficient for domestic needs. Rapeseed production is projected at 961,000 tons, the lowest since 2006.
