“Prices have risen since June – in July and August, the prices of wheat and rapeseed increased. Now the prices are more favorable for farmers, they seem financially successful, which is a good sign. One problem is quality,” said Mažvydas Šileika, Deputy CEO for Finance and Investments at Akola Group, during a meeting with investors on Thursday.
“Although the overall (grain – BNS) quality was expected to be good and it is, we have problems with fusariosis – this is a grain quality issue. This happened due to very wet and rainy weather, especially during the flowering of wheat, which affects grain quality,” he added.
