Crop Focus
The arable portfolio focusses on the main arable crops – cereals (wheat, barley, triticale, oats, rye), oilseed rape, corn & legumes/pulses. In terms of area cereals account for by far the largest part, followed by corn and oilseed rape.
All these crops are mainly “commodities” so are under the influence of world market prices, as the crop can be stored for long periods and transported over great distances. As a result intensity in terms of treatments per ha or value is rather limited in comparison to trees and vines and horticulture.
