According to the Natural Resources Institute-Luke, a reasonable grain harvest of about 3.6 billion kilogrammes could be achieved this year, if most of the crops can be harvested in dry weather.
Other crops such as rapeseed, peas and brad beans are expected to yield a greater harvest than last year.
“The grains harvest will probably be the smallest in five years,” said Luke researcher Anneli Partala.
