The winter spelt and wheat harvested area in Germany is expected to decline from 2.77 million hectares in 2024 to 2.61 million hectares by 2028. This represents an average annual decrease of approximately 1.5% over this period. Compared to 2023, where the harvested area was slightly higher, this continuation of a downward trend reflects ongoing changes in agricultural practices or economic factors.

Future trends to watch for include:

Further technological advancements in farming that might influence planting decisions.
Climate change impact on crop selection and yields.
Policy shifts towards sustainable agriculture which might affect crop choices.
Economic incentives or subsidies that could alter the area dedicated to spelt and wheat.
