Abstract

This article examines grain prices in Lithuania and identifies the key factors driving price fluctuations. To determine the influence of individual determinants on grain prices, a research methodology was developed encompassing wheat prices and a system of variables affecting them. The analysis shows that the most significant factors influencing wheat prices in Lithuania are the volume of wheat production, wheat imports, and rapeseed prices.
