Peat stock is abundant in Latvia. On each country's population is 750 tons of peat that in peat stocks abundance at the world we rank 8th. The research hypothesis is: peat mining industry historically and today is one of the most important economic sectors. In this article, we are described the peat history to the present day, showing the mining technology development, peat various uses, as well as the resulting amount of material and specific indicators. The main research object is the extraction of peat from the 17th century to the present day in Latvia, showing the used extraction technique, as well as uses of resources. In a study looking at the different types of data, such as peat extraction volumes will be displayed and analysed the technologies used for peat extraction and why the industry has started to show the highs and lows. It will also be reflected in the demand for peat and uses that are also affected by peat extraction volumes. To prove the hypothesis, it will be shown for peat extraction and export statistics in order to assess the importance of peat as a resource in the national economy. Peat extraction technology used, as well as applications of peat over the years have adapted to the modern needs of a more effective job. Cut peat extraction, as it has been peat extraction at source, as well as today is the use of hand-made and human resources. Nowadays, changes in global demand, mainly peat extraction for agricultural purposes. Peat extraction and processing industry is an important economic pillar of the regions of the country by providing jobs, providing a contribution to the payment of taxes, as well as national export balance. Returning to the multiple uses of peat (eg., Hatred), effectively increasing energy independence. More and more the peat industry is facing climate change constrains, which is expected to grow in the near future.
