Die grootte van die verwagte kommersiële mielie-oes is op 13,392 miljoen ton gestel, wat 1,03% of 135 950 ton meer is as die vorige skatting van 13,256 miljoen ton. Die verwagte opbrengs van mielies is 5,08 t/ha.
Die geskatte mielie-oes is 18,49% of 3,038 miljoen ton minder as die 2023-oes. Die drie belangrikste mielieproduserende gebiede, naamlik die Vrystaat, Mpumalanga en Noordwes provinsies, gaan na verwagting 80% van die 2024-oes produseer.
Die produksieskatting van witmielies is 6,407 miljoen ton, wat 2,07% of 129 950 ton meer is as die 6,277 miljoen ton van die vorige skatting. Die oppervlakteskatting vir witmielies is 1,555 miljoen ha en die verwagte opbrengs is 4,12 t/ha.
In die geval van geelmielies is die produksieskatting 6,985 miljoen ton, wat 0,09% of 6 000 ton meer is as die 6,979 miljoen ton van die vorige skatting. Die oppervlakteskatting vir geelmielies is 1,082 miljoen ha en die opbrengs is 6,46 t/ha.
Die opbrengs-bepaling per ha vir die Mpumalanga provinsie is gebaseer op wetenskaplike en objektiewe resultate verstrek deur die LNR. Neem kennis dat die objektiewe resultate vir die Vrystaat en Noordwes provinsies, in Mei 2024 gerapporteer sal word.
Ander somergewasse
Sonneblomsaad: Die produksieskatting vir sonneblomsaad is 615 000 ton, wat 4,41% of 26 000 ton meer is as die vorige skatting van 589 000 ton. Die oppervlakteskatting vir sonneblomsaad is 529 000 ha, terwyl die verwagte opbrengs 1,16 t/ha is.
Ander gewasse
Die produksieskatting van sojabone is onveranderd gelaat op 1,814 miljoen ton. Die geskatte oppervlakte beplant van sojabone is 1,151 miljoen ha, met 'n verwagte opbrengs van 1,58 t/ha.
Die verwagte grondbone-oes is op 54 960 ton gestel, wat 4,60% of 2 650 ton minder is as die vorige skatting van 57 610 ton. Vir grondbone is die oppervlakteskatting 41 200 ha, terwyl the verwagte opbrengs 1,33 t/ha is.
Die produksieskatting van sorghum is 94 105 ton, wat 4,99% of 4 475 ton meer is as die 89 630 ton van die vorige skatting. Die oppervlakteskatting vir sorghum is 42 100 ha, en die verwagte opbrengs is 2,24 t/ha.
In die geval van droëbone is die produksieskatting onveranderd gelaat op 54 120 ton. Die oppervlakte beplant met droëbone is 39 550 ha, en die verwagte opbrengs is 1,37 t/ha.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die vierde produksieskatting vir somergewasse vir 2024, op 28 Mei 2024 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 347 000 ha, which represents a decrease of 3,24%, compared to the 358 620 ha of the previous season. The expected maize crop for this sector is 575 000 tons, which is 13,41% less than the 664 040 tons of last season. It is important to note that about 46% of the maize produced in the non-commercial sector, is planted in the Eastern Cape, followed by KwaZulu-Natal with 22%.
Die voorlopige oppervlakte beplant met mielies in die nie-kommersiële landbou-sektor word geskat op 347 000 ha, wat 'n afname van 3,24% verteenwoordig in vergelyking met die 358 620 ha van die vorige seisoen. Die verwagte mielie-oes van dié sektor is 575 000 ton, wat 13,41% minder is as die 664 040 ton van die vorige seisoen. Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat ongeveer 46% van die mielies wat geproduseer word in die nie-kommersiële sektor, in die Oos-Kaap geplant word, gevolg deur KwaZulu-Natal met 22%.

Winter cereal crops – 2024
Producers' intentions to plant winter cereals are mainly based on the results of a non-probability survey conducted by the Directorate: Statistics and Economic Analysis of the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development and reflects the position as at the middle of April 2024. Inputs were also received from the representatives of the respective Provincial Departments of Agriculture.
The figures for wheat represent the total number of hectares that are intended to be planted for grain, excluding any hectares that will be planted for fodder and grazing.
Early indications are that producers intend to plant 520 200 ha of wheat for the 2024 production season. This is 3,30% or 17 750 ha less than the 537 950 ha planted to wheat in 2023.
The main producing areas are within the Western Cape with 370 000 ha (71%), followed by the Free State with 55 000 ha (11%) and the Northern Cape with 40 000 ha (8%).
The expected area planted to malting barley is 102 000 ha, which is 5,20% or 5 600 ha less than the 107 600 ha of the previous year. The expected area planted to canola is also 141 100 ha, which is 7,55% or 9 900 ha more than the 131 200 ha planted in 2023. Producers intend to plant 20 500 ha of cereal oats, which is 25,45% or 7 000 ha less than the 27 500 ha of the previous season. The expected area planted to sweet lupines is 15 000 ha, which is 6,25% or 1 000 ha less than the previous season.
Please note that the preliminary area estimate of winter crops for 2024 will be released on 26 July 2024.
