Area estimate and seventh production forecast (2018) August 28 Augustus 2018 Oppervlakte- en sewende produksieskatting (2018)
Summer field crops – 2018
Commercial maize: The size of the expected commercial maize crop remained unchanged at 13,207 million tons. The area estimate for maize is 2,319 million ha, while the expected yield is 5,70 t/ha.
The area estimate for white maize is 1,268 million ha and for yellow maize the area estimate is 1,051 million ha.
The production forecast of white maize is 6,880 million tons, whilst the yield is 5,43 t/ha. In the case of yellow maize the production forecast is 6,327 million tons and the yield is 6,02 t/ha.
Sunflower seed: The production forecast for sunflower seed was increased by 8,37% or 66 350 tons to 858 605 tons, with an estimated planted area of 601 500 ha and an expected yield of 1,43 t/ha.
Other crops:
The production forecast for soybeans remained unchanged at 1,551 million tons, with an estimated planted area of 787 200 ha and an expected yield of 1,97 t/ha.
The expected groundnut crop also remained unchanged at 52 000 tons. The area estimate is 56 300 ha and the expected yield is 0,92 t/ha.
The production forecast for sorghum was increased by 26,54% or 22 050 tons to 105 120 tons. The area estimate for sorghum is 28 800 ha. The expected yield is 3,65 t/ha.
In the case of dry beans, the production forecast remained unchanged at 65 610 tons. The area estimate of dry beans is 53 360 ha, with an expected yield of 1,23 t/ha.
The main reason for the increase in the production forecast for sunflower seed and sorghum is due to larger producer deliveries (as reported by SAGIS), against what the Committee indicated during July 2018.
Please note that the final production forecast for summer field crops for 2018, will be released on 26 September 2018.

Somergewasse – 2018
Kommersiële mielies: Die grootte van die verwagte kommersiële mielie-oes is onveranderd gelaat op 13,207 miljoen ton. Die skatting van die oppervlakte onder mielies is 2,319 miljoen ha, terwyl die verwagte opbrengs 5,70 t/ha is.
Die oppervlak onder witmielies is 1,268 miljoen ha en vir geelmielies is die oppervlak 1,051 miljoen ha.
Die produksieskatting van witmielies is 6,880 miljoen ton, terwyl die opbrengs 5,43 t/ha is. In die geval van geelmielies is die produksieskatting 6,327 miljoen ton, en die opbrengs is 6,02 t/ha.
Sonneblomsaad: Die produksieskatting vir sonneblomsaad is opwaarts aangepas met 8,37% of 66 350 ton na 858 605 ton, met 'n geskatte oppervlakte van 601 500 ha en 'n verwagte opbrengs van 1,43 t/ha.
Ander gewasse:
Die produksieskatting van sojabone is onveranderd gelaat op 1,551 miljoen ton met 'n geskatte oppervlakte van 787 200 ha en 'n verwagte opbrengs van 1,97 t/ha.
Die verwagte grondbone-oes is ook onveranderd gelaat op 52 000 ton. Die oppervlakteskatting is 56 300 ha, terwyl die verwagte opbrengs 0,92 t/ha is.
Die produksieskatting van sorghum is opwaarts aangepas met 26,54% of 22 050 ton na 105 120 ton. Die oppervlakte beplant met sorghum is 28 800 ha. Die verwagte opbrengs is 3,65 t/ha.
In die geval van droëbone is die produksieskatting onveranderd gelaat op 65 610 ton. Die oppervlakte beplant met droëbone is 53 360 ha, en die verwagte opbrengs is 1,23 t/ha.
Die hoofrede vir die toename in die produksieskatting vir sonneblomsaad en sorghum is as gevolg van groter produsentelewerings (soos gerapporteer deur SAGIS), teenoor wat die Komitee in Julie 2018 aangedui het.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die finale produksieskatting vir somergewasse vir 2018, op 26 September 2018 vrygestel sal word.

The preliminary area planted to maize in the non-commercial agricultural sector is estimated at 314 835 ha, which represents a decrease of 14,13%, compared to the 366 650 ha of the previous season. The expected maize crop for this sector is 593 975 tons, which is 18,74% less than the 731 000 tons of last season. It is important to note that about 40% of the maize produced in the non-commercial sector, is planted in the Eastern Cape.
Die voorlopige oppervlakte beplant met mielies in die nie-kommersiële landbou-sektor word geskat op 314 835 ha, wat 'n afname van 14,13% verteenwoordig in vergelyking met die 366 650 ha van die vorige seisoen. Die verwagte mielie-oes van dié sektor is 593 975 ton, wat 18,74% minder is as die 731 000 ton van die vorige seisoen. Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat ongeveer 40% van die mielies wat geproduseer word in die nie-kommersiële sektor, in die Oos-Kaap geplant word.
