“If we had below-average yield last year, this year’s yield is expected to be above average, due to a small percentage increase in acreage this year.” In terms of harvest quality, last year we had more high-end grains. For example, last year in Lithuania, almost 70% of the total purchase was made from producers. first or extra grade wheat. This year, more lower-class grains are planned to be purchased, ”says Raimundas Surdokas, AB Kauno Grūdai, Commercial Manager of Commodity Trading in the company’s press release.
As he explains, it was predicted in late spring that we might expect an exceptionally good harvest. However, the rains significantly adjusted the situation. Heavy rains and storms have caused crops, which in turn degrades the quality of the grain. According to him, unfavorable weather conditions have affected most regions of Lithuania, so all Lithuanian farmers must feel the consequences.
As R. Surdokas points out, Kauno Grūdai is ready to buy all kinds of grains. “We have a unique production chain from the field to the table, which includes food and feed production. We carefully select the highest class grains and use them for the production of food products, such as flour, instant pasta, low class grains for the production of compound feed, “explains R. Surdokas, a representative of Kauno Grūdai, and points out that the company is intensely preparing to buy grain for the season from Lithuanian farmers.

The representative of Kauno Grūdai points out that during the preparation season, farmers do not give up the services provided by the company during this period. “More and more farmers are choosing grain storage services. It is easier to buy these services than to look for places to store grain, maintain it, clean it, request pest control services, etc. After this year’s rains, it is likely to increase. the demand for drying services, “says R.
