Agricultural sector faces declining triticale yields and rising grain prices
Agricultural experts and recent data highlight shifting trends in grain production and pricing. Dr. Dariusz Zalewski from the University of Life Sciences in Wrocław advises that selecting winter wheat varieties should prioritize yield stability, disease resistance, and environmental stress tolerance over maximum potential, noting that no single variety is universal for all soil types and regions.
Preliminary 2026 results from COBORU indicate a decline in winter triticale yields compared to 2025. At an average agrotechnical level, yields were 83.9 dt/ha, down from 95.5 dt/ha the previous year. At high agrotechnical levels, yields dropped to 91.1 dt/ha from 106.5 dt/ha in 2025.
In the commodities market, wheat prices have risen steadily since the start of the season. This upward trend is expected to extend to feed grains, such as triticale, barley, and oats, as producers adjust prices following the harvest and ahead of the corn harvest.
