Lithuania is a world-renowned exporter of wheat due to its extremely high quality and competitive price. Currently, as a wheat exporter, Lithuania is in the Top 10 of the world’s largest wheat exporters, exporting up to 4 million tonnes of wheat annually. The biggest buyers of Lithuanian wheat are Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, the Republic of South Africa, Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, Kenya, Sudan, China.
