Die produksieskatting vir geelmielies is onveranderd gelaat op 7,914 miljoen ton. Die oppervlakteskatting is 1,050 miljoen ha, met 'n verwagte gemiddelde opbrengs van 7,54 t/ha.
Ander somergewasse
Sonneblomsaad: Die produksieskatting vir sonneblomsaad is onveranderd gelaat op 874 805 ton. Die oppervlakteskatting vir sonneblomsaad is 570 100 ha, terwyl die verwagte opbrengs 1,53 t/ha is.
Ander gewasse
Die produksieskatting vir sojabone is ook onveranderd gelaat op 3,010 miljoen ton. Dit is die grootste sojaboonoes wat nog aangeteken is. Die beraamde oppervlakte onder sojabone is 1 213 miljoen ha, met 'n verwagte gemiddelde opbrengs van 2,48 t/ha.
Die verwagte grondboon-oes is verhoog na 65 620 ton, wat 'n toename van 4,90% of 3 068 ton verteenwoordig teenoor die vorige skatting van 62 553 ton. Die oppervlakteskatting vir grondbone is 44 650 ha, met ‘n verwagte opbrengs van 1,47 t/ha.
Die produksieskatting van sorghum is 123 325 ton, wat 10,79% of 14 923 ton minder is as die vorige skatting van 138 248 ton. Die oppervlakteskatting vir sorghum is verminder met 5 000 ha na 40 000 ha, en die verwagte opbrengs is 3,08 t/ha.
Die produksieskatting vir droëbone het effens toegeneem na 80 695 ton, wat 1,95% of 1 540 ton meer is as die vorige skatting van 79 155 ton. Die beraamde oppervlakte onder droëbone is 38 520 ha, met 'n verwagte gemiddelde opbrengs van 2,09 t/ha.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die negende produksieskatting vir somergewasse vir 2026, sowel as produsente se voornemens om somergewasse vir 2027 te plant, op 27 Oktober 2026 vrygestel sal word.

The area planted to maize in the non-commercial agricultural sector is estimated at 397 170 ha, which represents an increase of 10,94%, compared to the 358 000 ha of the previous season. The expected maize crop for this sector is 695 025 tons, which is 11,83% more than the 621 500 tons of last season. It is important to note that about 36,96% of the maize produced in the non-commercial sector, is planted in the Eastern Cape, followed by Limpopo with 31,00% and then KwaZulu-Natal with 21,90%.
Die voorlopige oppervlakte beplant met mielies in die nie-kommersiële landbou-sektor word geskat op 397 170 ha, wat 'n toename van 10,94% verteenwoordig in vergelyking met die 358 000 ha van die vorige seisoen. Die verwagte mielie-oes van dié sektor is 695 025 ton, wat 11,83% meer is as die 621 500 ton van die vorige seisoen. Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat ongeveer 36,96% van die mielies wat geproduseer word in die nie-kommersiële sektor, in die Oos-Kaap geplant word, gevolg deur Limpopo met 31,00% en dan KwaZulu-Natal met 21,90%.

Wheat
The expected production of wheat is 1,806 million tons, which is 2,45% or 43 200 tons more than the previous forecast of 1,762 million tons, whilst the expected yield is 3,70 t/ha.
The expected production in the Western Cape is 874 500 tons (48%), which is unchanged from the previous forecast. In the Northern Cape, 288 000 tons (16%) is expected to be produced – also the same than the previous forecast. In the Free State, the expected production is 300 800 tons (17%), which is 43 200 tons more than the previous forecast of 257 600 tons.
The area estimate for wheat was revised upwards to 487 550 ha, which is 8 000 ha more than the previous forecast of 479 500 ha. An estimated 330 000 ha or 68% is planted in the Western Cape, 64 000 ha or 13% in the Free State and 40 000 ha or 8% in the Northern Cape.
The area planted estimate for the Western Cape and Free State is based primarily on information obtained from the Producer Independent Crop Estimation System (PICES), conducted by the National Crop Statistics Consortium (NCSC).
