Triticale market in Czechia

Earlier Report Observations

Triticale production in Czechia rose steadily from 172.2 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 213.3 thousand tonnes in 2020, lifting the domestic market size from 158.7 thousand tonnes to 197.7 thousand tonnes over the same three-year period.

In 2021, both production and market volume contracted, with output falling to 193.5 thousand tonnes and market size dropping to 172.0 thousand tonnes. The Czech government's Consumer Policy Strategy 2021–2030, which emphasizes consumer awareness and sustainable consumption, began to shape the food sector during this year. The following year saw a rebound, with production reaching 207.6 thousand tonnes and the market expanding to 192.7 thousand tonnes. This recovery coincided with the implementation of an amendment to the Significant Market Power Act, which altered trading practices in the agri-food chain, and with broader macroeconomic pressures including rising input costs for energy, fertilizers, and feed.

By 2023, production stabilized at 209.1 thousand tonnes, while the market size eased slightly to 188.5 thousand tonnes, reflecting a period of consolidation after the previous year's growth.
