Viljaseula - Finnish Grain Quality in 2012 8 AVERAGE QUALITY OF THE ORGANICALLY CULTIVATED GRAIN HARVEST 8.1 Organic oats In 2012, alongside the traditional quality analysis, more extensive information and samples than previously were collected on organically cultivated grains. Oats are our most important cereal in organic production. Its yield in 2012 was 38.6 million kg, which is about 3.5 per cent of the whole production of oats. Out of the organic material for the quality monitoring, 42 per cent of the samples were oats. The average hectolitre weight of organic oats was 58.1 kg (the median was 58.6 kg) and the average protein content was 12.0 per cent (the median was 11.9 per cent). The average quality for the years 2002-2012 is presented in table 20. The average hectolitre weight and protein content were similar to those of conventionally cultivated oats. Figures 26-29 show a comparison between organically and conventionally cultivated samples as to hectolitre weight, protein content, total besatz and shrivelled grains. Out of the organic oats, no less than 97 per cent had a hectolitre weight of a minimum of 52 kg. Sixty-two per cent of the samples had a hectolitre weight of a minimum of 58 kg. Table 20.
