Die geskatte mielie-oes is 16,97% of 2,181 miljoen ton meer as die 2024-oes. Die drie belangrikste mielieproduserende gebiede, naamlik die Vrystaat, Mpumalanga en Noordwes provinsies, gaan na verwagting 81% van die 2025-oes produseer.
Die produksieskatting van witmielies is verhoog met 1,14% of 87 450 ton vanaf 7,648 miljoen ton tot 7,736 miljoen ton. Die oppervlakteskatting vir witmielies is 1,600 miljoen ha en die verwagte opbrengs is 4,84 t/ha.
In die geval van geelmielies is die produksieskatting 7,295 miljoen ton, wat 2,25% of 160 475 ton meer is as die 7,135 miljoen ton van die vorige skatting. Die oppervlakteskatting vir geelmielies is 997 000 ha en die opbrengs is 7,32 t/ha.
Ander somergewasse
Sonneblomsaad: Die produksieskatting vir sonneblomsaad is 708 300 ton, wat 2,68% of 19 500 ton minder is as die 727 800 ton van die vorige skatting. Die oppervlakteskatting vir sonneblomsaad is 555 700 ha, terwyl die verwagte opbrengs 1,27 t/ha is.
Ander gewasse
Die produksieskatting van sojabone is op 2,723 miljoen ton gestel, wat 2,82% of 74 550 ton meer is as die vorige skatting van 2,648 miljoen ton. Die geskatte oppervlakte beplant van sojabone is 1,151 miljoen ha, met ‘n verwagte opbrengs van 2,37 t/ha.
Die verwagte grondbone-oes is verlaag met 3,34% of 2 121 ton, vanaf 63 510 ton na 61 389 ton. Vir grondbone is die oppervlakteskatting 48 125 ha, terwyl die verwagte opbrengs 1,28 t/ha is.
Die produksieskatting van sorghum is onveranderd gelaat op 137 970 ton. Die oppervlakteskatting vir sorghum is 41 150 ha, en die verwagte opbrengs is 3,35 t/ha.
In die geval van droëbone is die produksieskatting ook onveranderd gelaat op 74 299 ton. Die oppervlakte beplant met droëbone is 45 620 ha, met ‘n verwagte opbrengs van 1,63 t/ha.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die sewende produksieskatting vir somergewasse vir 2025, op 27 Augustus 2025 vrygestel sal word.

The area planted to maize in the non-commercial agricultural sector is estimated at 358 000 ha, which represents an increase of 3,17%, compared to the 347 000 ha of the previous season. The expected maize crop for this sector is 621 500 tons, which is 8,09% more than the 575 000 tons of last season. It is important to note that about 46,75% of the maize produced in the non-commercial sector, is planted in the Eastern Cape, followed by KwaZulu-Natal with 20,88% and then Limpopo with 20,65%.
Die voorlopige oppervlakte beplant met mielies in die nie-kommersiële landbou-sektor word geskat op 358 000 ha, wat 'n toename van 3,17% verteenwoordig in vergelyking met die 347 000 ha van die vorige seisoen. Die verwagte mielie-oes van dié sektor is 621 500 ton, wat 8,09% meer is as die 575 000 ton van die vorige seisoen. Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat ongeveer 46,75% van die mielies wat geproduseer word in die nie-kommersiële sektor, in die Oos-Kaap geplant word, gevolg deur KwaZulu-Natal met 20,88% en dan Limpopo met 20,65%.

Preliminary area estimate for 2025 / Voorlopige oppervlakteskatting vir 2025
Winter cereal crops – 2025
The preliminary area estimate is based on the results of a non-probability survey conducted by the Directorate: Statistics and Economic Analysis from the Department of Agriculture, and reflects the position as at the middle of July 2025, as well as inputs from the PDA representatives. Please note that the information from the Producer Independent Crop Estimation System (PICES), as conducted by the National Crop Statistics Consortium (NCSC), for the Western Cape will be available in August 2025 and for the Free State in September 2025.
Wheat
The preliminary area estimate for wheat is 512 500 ha, which is 1,42% or 7 200 ha more than the 505 300 ha planted for the previous season.
The estimated area planted in the Western Cape is 369 000 ha, which is 1 000 ha more than the 368 000 ha of the previous season. In the Free State, 54 000 ha is planted, which is 5 000 ha more than the 49 000 ha planted for the previous season. The area planted in the Northern Cape is 38 000 ha, which is the same than the previous season.
Other crops
The preliminary area estimate for barley is 95 700 ha, which is 4,97% or 5 000 ha less than the 100 700 ha of last season. The area planted to canola is 164 900 ha, which is 0,51% or 850 ha less than the 165 750 ha planted for the previous season.
The preliminary area estimate for oats for the 2025 season is 33 520 ha and for sweet lupins 17 500 ha.
Please note that the revised area planted estimate and first production forecast for winter cereals for 2025 will be released on 27 August 2025.
Information is available online at the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development or SAGIS, as from 14:30 on the date of the relevant meeting of the Crop Estimates Committee.
Wintergewasse – 2025
Die voorlopige oppervlakteskatting is gebaseer op die resultate van ’n nie-ewekansige opname onderneem deur die Direktoraat: Statistiek en Ekonomiese Analise van die Departement van Landbou, en weerspieël die situasie teen die middel van Julie 2025, sowel as insette van die PDL verteenwoordigers. Let wel, inligting van die Produsente Onafhanklike Oesskattingstelsel (“PICES”), soos gedoen deur die Nasionale Oesskattingskonsortium, sal vir die Wes-Kaap in Augustus 2025 gerapporteer word en vir die Vrystaat in September 2025.
Koring
Die voorlopige skatting van die oppervlakte onder koring beloop 512 500 ha, wat 1,42% of 7 200 ha meer is as die 505 300 ha wat verlede seisoen aangeplant is.
Die beraamde oppervlakte beplant in die Wes-Kaap is 369 000 ha, wat 1 000 ha meer is as die 368 000 ha van die vorige seisoen. Vir die Vrystaat is die aanplantings 54 000 ha, wat 5 000 ha meer is as die 49 000 ha wat verlede seisoen aangeplant is. Die oppervlakte beplant in die Noord-Kaap is 38 000 ha, wat dieselfde is as die vorige seisoen.
Ander gewasse
Die voorlopige oppervlakskatting vir gars is 95 700 ha, wat 4,97% of 5 000 ha minder is as die 100 700 ha van verlede seisoen. Die oppervlakte onder canola is 164 900 ha, wat 0,51% of 850 ha minder is as die 165 750 ha wat verlede seisoen aangeplant is.
Die voorlopige oppervlakteskatting vir hawer vir die 2025-seisoen is 33 520 ha en vir soetlupine 17 500 ha.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die hersiene oppervlakte beplant en eerste produksieskatting vir wintergewasse vir 2025 op 27 Augustus 2025 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.
