Latvia: Grain and Feed Update
Post forecasts that Latvian production of wheat, rye, mixed grains and triticale, barley, and oats in marketing year (MY) 2018/19 will reach upwards of 2.1 MMT, almost 20 percent lower from MY 2017/18. Hot weather accelerated cereal grain ripening and advanced harvest two weeks earlier than usual. The largest Latvian farmers’ organization sent a letter to the Government of Latvia (GOL) requesting an official agricultural state of emergency.
