Lithuania: Rapeseed and Oilseed Products
It is estimated that after reduction in MY 2015/2016, rapeseed planted area in MY 2016/2017 will increase to 200,000 hectares, and will be 20 percent higher than in the previous year. Lithuanian’s total production of rapeseed in MY 2016/17 is forecast to increase by 1 percent to 510,000 MT in comparison to MY 2015/2016. Increase of planted area stems from growing demand for biofuel production and continuing demand for exports of rapeseed within the European Union.
