Tridge summary
October saw sunny weather with below average rainfall and slightly lower temperatures compared to the norm, leading to challenges in crop production and milk production. Despite these challenges, there was an increase in the production of native seed potatoes and organic seedlings. The sugar beet harvest experienced low sugar content, and there was a decrease in vegetable production compared to the previous year. Milk production also saw a decrease, particularly in the processing of fluid milk, but cheese production remained slightly ahead of the previous year. The cattle herd grew slightly, and there was a decrease in the slaughtering of large cattle, but an increase in the slaughtering of calves, pigs, sheep, and goats. Domestic beef production fell by 2.4%, while production of veal, pork, and mutton increased. Import volumes of meat and cheese increased, with Gruyère AOP benefiting from a significant increase in exports. Cereal and vegetable imports were higher than the previous year due to a poor domestic harvest.
