Summer crops / Somergewasse
Preliminary area estimate (2019) / Voorlopige oppervlakteskatting (2019)
Summer field crops – 2019
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 2019, will mainly be based, on information obtained from the Producer Independent Crop Estimation System (PICES) survey for the Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Gauteng and North West provinces.
Commercial maize: The preliminary area estimate for maize is 2,269 million ha, which is 2,15% or 49 950 ha less than the 2,319 million ha planted for the previous season, and also 7,33% or 179 500 ha less than the intentions to plant figure of 2,448 million ha released in October 2018.
The preliminary area estimate for white maize is 1,257 million ha, which represents a decrease of 0,88% or 11 100 ha compared to the 1,268 million ha planted last season. In the case of yellow maize the area estimate is 1,012 million ha, which is 3,70% or 38 850 ha less than the 1,051 million ha planted last season.
Other summer crops
Please note that only provisional national area planted figures of groundnuts, sorghumand dry beans for the current production season are being released today.
Sunflower seed: The preliminary area estimate for sunflower seed is 444 000 ha, which is 26,18% or 157 500 ha less than the 601 500 ha planted the previous season.
It is estimated that 743 600 ha have been planted to soybeans, which represents a decrease of 5,54% or 43 600 ha compared to the 787 200 ha planted last season.
For groundnuts, the area estimate is 19 200 ha, which is 65,90% or 37 100 ha less than the 56 300 ha planted for the previous season.
The area estimate for sorghum increased by 59,72%, from 28 800 ha to 46 000 ha against the previous season.
For dry beans, the area estimate is 56 000 ha, which is 4,95% or 2 640 ha more than the 53 360 ha planted for the previous season.
Please note that the revised area estimate and first production forecast for summer field crops for 2019 will be released on 27 February 2019.

Somergewasse – 2019
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 2019 vrygestel word en sal hoofsaaklik, gebaseer wees op inligting verkry vanaf die "PICES"-opname vir die Vrystaat, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Gauteng en Noordwes provinsies.
Kommersiële mielies: Die voorlopige skatting van die oppervlakte onder mielies beloop 2,269 miljoen ha, wat 2,15% of 49 950 ha minder is as die 2,319 miljoen ha wat verlede seisoen aangeplant is, en ook 7,33% of 179 500 ha minder as die voornemens om te plant syfer van 2,448 miljoen ha soos vrygestel in Oktober 2018.
Die voorlopige oppervlak onder witmielies is 1,257 miljoen ha, wat 'n afname van 0,88% of 11 100 ha verteenwoordig vergeleke met die 1,268 miljoen ha die vorige seisoen. In die geval van geelmielies is die oppervlakteskatting 1,012 miljoen ha, wat 3,70% of 38 850 ha minder is as die 1,051 miljoen 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 444 000 ha, wat 26,18% of 157 500 ha minder is as die 601 500 ha aangeplant die vorige seisoen.
Die geskatte oppervlakte beplant met sojabone is 743 600 ha, wat 'n afname van 5,54% of 43 600 ha verteenwoordig vergeleke met die 787 200 ha geplant die vorige seisoen.
Vir grondbone is die oppervlakteskatting 19 200 ha, wat 65,90% of 37 100 ha minder is as die 56 300 ha geplant vir die vorige seisoen.
Die oppervlakteskatting vir sorghum het toegeneem met 59,72%, van 28 800 ha tot 46 000 ha teenoor die vorige seisoen.
Vir droëbone is die geskatte oppervlakte beplant 56 000 ha, wat 4,95% of 2 640 ha meer is as die 53 360 ha geplant vir die vorige seisoen.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die hersiene oppervlakte- en eerste produksieskatting vir somergewasse vir 2019, op 27 Februarie 2019 vrygestel sal word.
