Intentions to plant (2022) Voorneme om te plant
Producers intentions to plant summer crops are 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 October 2021.
According to the results of the survey, commercial producers intend to plant 2,725 million ha of maize for 2022, which is 1,10% or 30 200 ha less than the 2,755 million ha planted last season.
The figures show that producers intend to plant 1,644 million ha to white maize, which is 47 700 ha (2,82%) less than in the previous season. In the case of yellow maize, the expected plantings are 1,081 million ha, which is 17 500 ha (1,65%) more than in the previous season.
In the case of sunflower seed, the expected area planted is estimated at 555 800 ha, which is 16,32% or 78 000 ha more than the 477 800 ha planted last season.
The intended plantings of soybeans shows an increase of 11,81% or 97 700 ha compared to the previous season – from 827 100 ha to 924 800 ha.
The expected plantings of groundnuts will slightly decrease by 4,02% or 1 550 ha, from 38 550 ha to 37 000 ha.
The intended plantings of sorghum is expected to decrease by 8,54% or 4 200 ha to 45 000 ha, compared to the previous season.
The expected plantings of dry beans is estimated at 54 250 ha, which is 14,48% or 6 860 ha more than in the previous season.
Please note that the preliminary area planted estimate for summer grains for 2022 will be released on 27 January 2022.

Produsente se voorneme om somergewasse te plant is gebaseer op die resultate van 'n nie-ewekansige opname onderneem deur die Direktoraat: Statistiek en Ekonomiese Analise van die Departement van Landbou, Grondhervorming en Landelike Ontwikkeling en weerspieël die situasie teen die middel van Oktober 2021.
Volgens die resultate van die opname, is kommersiële produsente van voorneme om 2,725 miljoen ha mielies vir 2022 te plant, wat 1,10% of 30 200 ha minder is as die 2,755 miljoen ha aangeplant verlede seisoen.
Die syfers toon dat produsente van voorneme is om 1,644 miljoen ha witmielies aan te plant, wat 47 700 ha (2,82%) minder is as in die vorige seisoen. In die geval met geelmielies is die verwagte aanplantings 1,081 miljoen ha, wat 17 500 ha (1,65%) meer is as in die vorige seisoen.
In die geval van sonneblomsaad word die verwagte aanplantings beraam op 555 800 ha, wat 16,32% of 78 000 ha meer is as die 477 800 ha aangeplant verlede seisoen.
Die voorgenome sojaboon-aanplantings toon 'n toename van 11,81% of 97 700 ha, in vergelyking met die vorige seisoen - vanaf 827 100 ha tot 924 800 ha.
Die verwagte aanplantings van grondbone gaan effens afneem met 4,02% of 1 550 ha, van 38 550 ha tot 37 000 ha.
Die voorgenome aanplantings van sorghum sal na verwagting afneem met 8,54% of 4 200 ha na 45 000 ha, in vergelyking met die vorige seisoen.
Die verwagte aanplantings van droëbone word beraam op 54 250 ha, wat 14,48% of 6 860 ha meer is as in die vorige seisoen.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die voorlopige oppervlakteskatting vir somergewasse vir 2022 op 27 Januarie 2022 vrygestel sal word.

The preliminary area planted to maize in the non-commercial agricultural sector is estimated at 362 900 ha, which represents an increase of 22,00%, compared to the 297 460 ha of the previous season. The expected maize crop for this sector is 636 440 tons, which is 17,09% more than the 543 545 tons of last season. It is important to note that about 53% of the maize produced in the non-commercial sector, is planted in the Eastern Cape, followed by KwaZulu-Natal with 23%.
Die voorlopige oppervlakte beplant met mielies in die nie-kommersiële landbou-sektor word geskat op 362 900 ha, wat 'n toename van 22,00% verteenwoordig in vergelyking met die 297 460 ha van die vorige seisoen. Die verwagte mielie-oes van dié sektor is 636 440 ton, wat 17,09% meer is as die 543 545 ton van die vorige seisoen. Dit is belangrik om daarop te let dat ongeveer 53% van die mielies wat geproduseer word in die nie-kommersiële sektor, in die Oos-Kaap geplant word, gevolg deur KwaZulu-Natal met 23%.
