Lithuanian farmers expect a good harvest for MY2016/17. After a record grain crop in MY2015/16 sowing acreage is forecast lower than for last year but still higher than the average for the past few years. Planting area for grains is expected to reach 1.3 million HA. It is estimated that in MY2015/16 the total grain crop reached 6.0 million metric tons (MMT), 18.5 percent higher than in the previous year. Record 2015/16 crop was attributed to ample production of soft wheat. Good export opportunities to countries outside the EU countries were the main driver for increased wheat plantings for MY2015/16. Increased acreage and very good yields attributed to the 2015/16 grain production success. Only the corn crop is estimated 50 percent lower than in MY2014/15 due to summer drought.
