Boerenbusiness Poll

Does the corona crisis have an impact on your acreage?

2 April 2020 - Niels van der Boom

The corona crisis does not only affect the sale of agricultural products. There is also a real chance that the 2020 harvest will be affected by this. Boerenbusiness is curious whether you are therefore adjusting the building plan for this season. Which crops do you grow more, and which less?

From an earlier investigation van Boerenbusiness It emerged that farmers are very concerned about the sale of their products. This is a topical issue, especially among arable farmers, due to the completely lost demand for chips potatoes. There is therefore a strong answer from the potato sector: Plant less potatoes.

Potato processors have been reluctant to contract further. At the same time, the supply of additional rental land offers opportunities, grain prices have actually risen due to the crisis and the onion price is also holding up.

What choices do you make at your company?

The results of this poll will be published soon Boerenbusiness published.
