This year's extraction volume is 15% higher than last year. Of the total extraction volume, 68% of the peat extracted was milled peat, while 32% was cut moss peat. Despite the difficult pandemic period, export volume this year has actually increased by 15% compared to the first 11 months of last year. In the spring, with standard export volumes remaining unchanged, the pandemic shifted the structure of exports – exports to Western Europe temporarily dried up, but this was offset by an increase in exports to Asian countries.
