For groundnuts, the area estimate is 20 050 ha, which is 64,39% or 36 250 ha less than the 56 300 ha planted for the previous season. The expected crop is 20 100 tons – which is 64,74% or 36 900 tons less than the 57 000 tons of last season. The expected yield is 1,00 t/ha.
The area estimate for sorghum increased by 75,35% or 21 700 ha, from 28 800 ha to 50 500 ha against the previous season. The production forecast for sorghum is 168 400 tons, which is 46,43% or 53 400 tons more than the 115 000 tons of the previous season. The expected yield is 3,33 t/ha.
For dry beans, the area estimate is 59 300 ha, which is 11,13% or 5 940 ha more than the 53 360 ha planted for the previous season. The production forecast is 70 950 tons, which is 2,29% or 1 590 tons more than the 69 360 tons of the previous season. The expected yield is 1,20 t/ha.
Please note that the second production forecast for summer field crops for 2019 will be released on 26 March 2019.

Somergewasse – 2019
Kommersiële mielies: Die hersiene skatting van die oppervlakte onder mielies beloop 2 301 800 ha, wat 0,74% of 17 050 ha minder is as die 2 318 850 ha wat verlede seisoen aangeplant is, maar 1,45% of 32 900 ha meer as die voorlopige oppervlakteskatting van 2 268 900 ha soos vrygestel in Januarie 2019.
Die verwagte kommersiële mielie-oes is 10 510 020 ton, wat 15,99% of 1 999 980 ton minder is as die 12 510 000 ton van die vorige seisoen (2018). Die opbrengs van mielies is 4,57 t/ha.
Die oppervlakte beplant syfers is hoofsaaklik verkry vanaf die Produsente Onafhanklike Oesskattingstelsel (PICES), soos deur die Nasionale Oesskattingskonsortium gerapporteer vir Vrystaat, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Gauteng en Noordwes provinsies.
