Die produksieskatting van witmielies is onveranderd gelaat op 5,572 miljoen ton. Die opbrengs van witmielies is 4,29 t/ha. In die geval van geelmielies is die produksieskatting 5,444 miljoen ton, wat 0,70% of 37 800 ton meer is as die 5,407 miljoen ton van die vorige skatting. Die opbrengs van geelmielies is 5,43 t/ha.
Sonneblomsaad: Die produksieskatting vir sonneblomsaad het toegeneem met 3,86% of 25 300 ton na 680 940 ton. Die oppervlakteskatting vir sonneblomsaad is 515 350 ha, terwyl die verwagte opbrengs 1,32 t/ha is.
Ander gewasse
Die produksieskatting van sojabone is onveranderd gelaat op 1,170 miljoen ton. Die geskatte oppervlakte beplant van sojabone is 730 500 ha en die verwagte opbrengs is 1,60 t/ha.
Die verwagte grondbone-oes is ook onveranderd gelaat op 18 880 ton, met 'n verwagte opbrengs van 0,94 t/ha. Die oppervlakteskatting vir grondbone is 20 050 ha.
Die produksieskatting van sorghum het afgeneem met 4,32% of 6 650 ton, van 153 950 ton tot 147 300 ton. Die oppervlakteskatting vir sorghum is 50 500 ha, en die verwagte opbrengs is 2,92 t/ha.
In die geval van droëbone is die produksieskatting onveranderd gelaat op 66 355 ton. Die oppervlakte beplant met droëbone is 59 300 ha, en die verwagte opbrengs is 1,12 t/ha.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die agtste produksieskatting vir somergewasse vir 2019, op 26 September 2019 vrygestel sal word.

The preliminary area planted to maize in the non-commercial agricultural sector is estimated at 296 000 ha, which represents a decrease of 5,98%, compared to the 314 835 ha of the previous season. The expected maize crop for this sector is 549 180 tons, which is 7,54% less than the 593 975 tons of last season. It is important to note that about 43% of the maize produced in the non-commercial sector, is planted in the Eastern Cape, followed by KwaZulu-Natal with 27%.
Die voorlopige oppervlakte beplant met mielies in die nie-kommersiële landbou-sektor word geskat op 296 000 ha, wat 'n afname van 5,98% verteenwoordig in vergelyking met die 314 835 ha van die vorige seisoen. Die verwagte mielie-oes van dié sektor is 549 180 ton, wat 7,54% minder is as die 593 975 ton van die vorige seisoen. Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat ongeveer 43% van die mielies wat geproduseer word in die nie-kommersiële sektor, in die Oos-Kaap geplant word, gevolg deur KwaZulu-Natal met 27%.
