Die grootte van die verwagte kommersiële mielie-oes is onveranderd gelaat op 14,723 miljoen ton. Die skatting van die oppervlakte onder mielies is 2,623 miljoen ha, terwyl die verwagte opbrengs 5,61 t/ha is.
Die geskatte mielie-oes is 10% kleiner as die 2021-oes. Die drie belangrikste mielieproduserende gebiede, naamlik die Vrystaat, Mpumalanga en Noordwes provinsies, gaan na verwagting 82% van die 2022-oes produseer.
Die oppervlak onder witmielies is 1,575 miljoen ha en vir geelmielies is die oppervlak 1,048 miljoen ha.
Die produksieskatting van witmielies is onveranderd gelaat op 7,553 miljoen ton. Die opbrengs van witmielies is 4,80 t/ha. In die geval van geelmielies is die produksieskatting onveranderd gelaat op 7,170 miljoen ton. Die opbrengs van geelmielies is 6,84 t/ha.
Sonneblomsaad: Die produksieskatting vir sonneblomsaad is onveranderd gelaat op 963 000 ton. Die oppervlakteskatting vir sonneblomsaad is 670 700 ha, terwyl die verwagte opbrengs 1,44 t/ha is.
Ander gewasse
Die produksieskatting van sojabone is 1,931 miljoen ton, wat 2,38% of 44 850 ton meer is as die vorige skatting van 1,886 miljoen ton. Die geskatte oppervlakte beplant van sojabone is 925 300 ha en die verwagte opbrengs is 2,09 t/ha.
Die verwagte grondbone-oes is onveranderd gelaat op 70 400 ton. Vir grondbone is die oppervlakteskatting 43 400 ha, terwyl the verwagte opbrengs 1,62 t/ha is.
Die produksieskatting van sorghum is onveranderd gelaat op 137 220 ton. Die oppervlakteskatting vir sorghum is 37 200 ha, en die verwagte opbrengs is 3,69 t/ha.
In die geval van droëbone is die produksieskatting onveranderd gelaat op 55 995 ton. Die oppervlakte beplant met droëbone is 42 900 ha, en die verwagte opbrengs is 1,31 t/ha.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die vyfde produksieskatting vir somergewasse vir 2022, op 28 Junie 2022 vrygestel sal word.
Inligting is beskikbaar aanlyn by die Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development of by SAGIS, vanaf 14:30 op die dag van die toepaslike vergadering van die Oesskattingskomitee.

The area planted to maize in the non-commercial agricultural sector is estimated at 378 800 ha, which represents an increase of 4,38%, compared to the 362 900 ha of the previous season. The expected maize crop for this sector is 667 000 tons, which is 4,80% more than the 636 440 tons of last season. It is important to note that about 47% of the maize produced in the non-commercial sector, is planted in the Eastern Cape, followed by KwaZulu-Natal with 22%.
Die oppervlakte beplant met mielies in die nie-kommersiële landbou-sektor word geskat op 378 800 ha, wat 'n toename van 4,38% verteenwoordig in vergelyking met die 362 900 ha van die vorige seisoen. Die verwagte mielie-oes van dié sektor is 667 000 ton, wat 4,80% meer is as die 636 440 ton van die vorige seisoen. Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat ongeveer 47% van die mielies wat geproduseer word in die nie-kommersiële sektor, in die Oos-Kaap geplant word, gevolg deur KwaZulu-Natal met 22%.
