Weather conditions continue to have a strong impact on the 2026 peat harvesting season. By the beginning of August, harvesting volumes at Sulinkiai remained below the planned level, and the final season result will largely depend on weather conditions during the remaining harvesting period.
As peat harvesting is highly weather-dependent, prolonged rain and limited drying periods can reduce effective harvesting days and influence raw-material availability. This may also affect peat moss supply and the wider growing media market.
For professional growers, distributors and substrate producers, early planning is therefore especially important. Forecasting required volumes in advance helps improve supply visibility, coordinate production and delivery schedules, and reduce the risk of shortages during the upcoming growing season.
At Sulinkiai, we continue to closely monitor harvesting progress, raw-material availability and market developments to support stable growing media production and reliable customer supply.
