The so-called "small harvest", i.e. harvesting of winter barley and winter rapeseed, is underway in Poland, but the advancement of harvesting varies regionally.

According to estimates by the Grain and Feed Chamber, winter barley has been harvested nationwide from more than 80% of the crop's acreage.

Harvesting of winter rapeseed is advanced, especially in the southwest of the country, where rapeseed has been harvested from about 30 % of the acreage. Early indications point to high seed oiliness.
