Decrease in oat area and production expected

In 2023 oats yield is predicted to be 6.2 tonnes per hectare. Oats production is predicted to be around 150 thousand tonnes.

Whilst oats yield is slightly down from the 2022 value of 6.3 tonnes per hectare, a predicted 9% decrease for oats area is the main driver for the decrease in production.
