FAO/GIEWS - Foodcrops & Shortages 10/00 - CZECH REPUBLIC (15 September)
In the Czech Republic, total wheat production is estimated close to the 1999 level at about 4 million tonnes, despite larger plantings. The reduction is due to drought which caused yields to fall significantly. Output of barley, which is mostly spring grown and was thus most affected by the drought, is estimated to have fallen sharply from last year, reflecting lower yields and a smaller area.
