"Although at the beginning of the summer there were expectations of another record cereal harvest, preliminary estimates suggest that this year's harvest for Lithuanian farmers has been around 9% lower than last year. But the harvest was really good, third highest level in history. The prevailing exceptionally high cereal prices on international commodity markets and good cereal yields are strengthening the farmers' market positions and contributing to further growth. The positive sentiment in the agricultural market and the financial stability of farms enable us to continue to achieve our goals," said Justė Gumovskienė, CEO of INVL Baltic Farmland Management, the company that manages INVL Farmland's land holdings.
Based on the concluded lease agreements, INVL Baltic Farmland expects to generate a consolidated net profit of EUR 385,000 on sales of of EUR 665,000 in 2021.
