  • Record organic cereal production in 2020

  • Record organic cereal production in 2019

  • Production of organically farmed cereals dropped by 38 percent

    Last summer’s drought led to crop failure and low cereal crop yields in many parts of the country. Large acreages were also harvested as silage rather than as grain. This is because temporary grasses also yielded low harvests, which led to feed shortage. Total organically farmed cereal production was estimated at 241 200 tonnes, which is 38 percent less than in 2017.
