dnes 9:39
Bratislava, 7 July (TASR) - Slovakia's total harvest of cereal grains is expected to reach nearly 2.6 million tonnes this year, down by almost 530,000 tonnes when compared to last year's final yield, according to the first crop estimate compiled by the Statistics Office based on data as of 20 June 2026.
This represents a significant 17 percent year-on-year drop, mainly driven by lower per-hectare yields across all monitored crops. The total sown area of cereal grains changed only slightly, reaching 517,400 hectares, down by 1.8 percent (some 10,000 hectares) when compared to last year.
