In 2022, an area of cereals similar to that of 2021 has been sown, but the lower production is due to the fall in yields, as a result of the drought.

Only barley production should remain stable at 51 Mt. Overall, the 2022 production is below the average cereal production of the last 5 years. In the case of oilseeds and protein crops, the situation is ...
