Summer crops / Somergewasse
Preliminary area estimate of summer crops (2018) January 30 January 2018 Voorlopige oppervlakteskatting vir somergewasse (2018)
Summer field crops – 2018
The preliminary area estimate of today is mainly based on the results of a non-probability survey conducted by the Directorate: Statistics and Economic Analysis of the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Less favorable rainfall and warm temperatures in the western producing areas over the past few weeks prevented producers from planting their intended area with summer crops, especially in the Free State and North West provinces.
The revised area planted and production figures, which will be released by the Crop Estimates Committee on 27 February 2018, will mainly be based, on information obtained from the Producer Independent Crop Estimation System (PICES) survey for the Northern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Gauteng and North West provinces.
Commercial maize: The preliminary area estimate for maize is 2,309 million ha, which is 12,15% or 319 400 ha less than the 2,629 million ha planted for the previous season, and also 6,53% or 161 200 ha less than the intentions to plant figure of 2,470 million ha released in October 2017.
The preliminary area estimate for white maize is 1,285 million ha, which represents a decrease of 21,81% or 358 400 ha compared to the 1,643 million ha planted last season. In the case of yellow maize the area estimate is 1,024 million ha, which is 3,96% or 39 000 ha more than the 985 500 ha planted last season.
Other summer crops: Please note that only provisional national area planted figures of groundnuts, sorghum and dry beans for the current production season are being released today.
Sunflower seed: The preliminary area estimate for sunflower seed is 560 100 ha, which is 11,90% or 75 650 ha less than the 635 750 ha planted the previous season. As some producers have not yet finished plantings, mainly because of unfavourable weather conditions, rainfall within the next two weeks can still influence farmers' decisions to plant sunflower seed.
It is estimated that 701 000 ha have been planted to soybeans, which represents an increase of 22,14% or 127 050 ha compared to the 573 950 ha planted last season.
For groundnuts, the area estimate is 53 000 ha, which is 5,36% or 3 000 ha less than the 56 000 ha planted for the previous season.
The area estimate for sorghum decreased by 40,97%, from 42 350 ha to 25 000 ha against the previous season.
For dry beans, the area estimate is 52 000 ha, which is 15,43% or 6 950 ha more than the 45 050 ha planted for the previous season.
Please note that the revised area estimate and first production forecast for summer field crops for 2018 will be released on 27 February 2018.

Somergewasse – 2018
Die voorlopige oppervlakteskatting van vandag is hoofsaaklik gebaseer op die resultate van 'n nie-ewekansige opname onderneem deur die Direktoraat: Statistiek en Ekonomiese Analise van die Departement van Landbou, Bosbou en Visserye. Minder gunstige reënvalneerslae en warm temperature in die westelike produserende gebiede die afgelope paar weke het produsente verhinder om hul beoogde oppervlakte met somergewasse aan te plant, veral in die Vrystaat en Noordwes provinsies.
Die hersiene aangeplante oppervlakte en produksiesyfers sal deur die Oesskattingskomitee op 27 Februarie 2018 vrygestel word en sal hoofsaaklik, gebaseer wees op inligting verkry vanaf die "PICES"-opname vir die Noord-Kaap, Vrystaat, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Gauteng en Noordwes provinsies.
Kommersiële mielies: Die voorlopige skatting van die oppervlakte onder mielies beloop 2,309 miljoen ha, wat 12,15% of 319 400 ha minder is as die 2,629 miljoen ha wat verlede seisoen aangeplant is, en ook 6,53% of 161 200 ha minder as die voornemens om te plant syfer van 2,470 miljoen ha soos vrygestel in Oktober 2017.
Die voorlopige oppervlak onder witmielies is 1,285 miljoen ha, wat 'n afname van 21,81% of 358 400 ha verteenwoordig vergeleke met die 1,643 miljoen ha die vorige seisoen. In die geval van geelmielies is die oppervlakteskatting 1,024 miljoen ha, wat 3,96% of 39 000 ha meer is as die 985 500 ha geplant die vorige seisoen.
Ander somergewasse: Let asseblief daarop dat net die nasionale aangeplante area vir die voorlopige oppervlakte van die grondbone, sorghum en droëbone vir die huidige produksieseisoen vandag vrygestel word.
Sonneblomsaad: Die voorlopige oppervlakteskatting vir sonneblomsaad is 560 100 ha, wat 11,90% of 75 650 ha minder is as die 635 750 ha aangeplant die vorige seisoen. Aangesien sommige produsente nog nie klaar geplant is nie, hoofsaaklik weens ongunstige weersomstandighede, kan reënval binne die volgende twee weke steeds produsente se besluite om sonneblomsaad te plant, beïnvloed.
Die geskatte oppervlakte beplant met sojabone is 701 000 ha, wat 'n toename van 22,14% of 127 050 ha verteenwoordig vergeleke met die 573 950 ha geplant die vorige seisoen.
Vir grondbone is die oppervlakteskatting 53 000 ha, wat 5,36% of 3 000 ha minder is as die 56 000 ha geplant vir die vorige seisoen.
Die oppervlakteskatting vir sorghum het afgeneem met 40,97%, van 42 350 ha tot 25 000 ha teenoor die vorige seisoen.
Vir droëbone is die geskatte oppervlakte beplant 52 000 ha, wat 15,43% of 6 950 ha meer is as die 45 050 ha geplant vir die vorige seisoen.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die hersiene oppervlakte- en eerste produksieskatting vir somergewasse vir 2018, op 27 Februarie 2018 vrygestel sal word.
