CROP GROWINGSEGMENT

CHALLENGING 2017/2018 SEASON

  • • Extreme climatic conditions in large areas of Europe, including Lithuania: heavy rains in autumn 2017 followed by drought in summer 2018
  • • Due to acquisitions cash crop area increased by 50% to 27 thous. ha in the season 2017/2018, vs.18 thous. ha in 2016/2017
  • •Rainy 2017 resulted in significantly larger areas seeded with summer crops: 80% in 2018 vs. 56% in 2017
  • • Due to specifics of organic farming crop rotation and historically high profitability, about 49% (10.7 thous. Ha) of total summer crops area was seeded with the legumes such as peas and beans
  • •Drought in summer 2018 had a negative impact on most crop yields
  • • However legumes were effected particularly negatively by drought which led to significant negative effect on the bottom line of AUGA group
  • • Changes in yields of other cash crops in the season of 2017/2018 compared to the season of 2016/2017 were mixed. For instance, the yields of sugar beets, soya, corn were higher, while rapeseed, oats, rye and other were lower.
