Summer crops / Somergewasse
Preliminary area estimate (2020) Voorlopige oppervlakteskatting
Summer field crops – 2020
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.
The revised area planted and production figures, which will be released by the Crop Estimates Committee on 26 February 2020, 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 2,535 million ha, which is 10,21% or 234 800 ha more than the 2,300 million ha planted for the previous season, and also 0,64% or 16 000 ha more than the intentions to plant figure of 2,519 million ha released in October 2019.
The preliminary area estimate for white maize is 1,515 million ha, which represents an increase of 16,67% or 216 400 ha compared to the 1,298 million ha planted last season. In the case of yellow maize the area estimate is 1,020 million ha, which is 1,84% or 18 400 ha more than the 1,002 million ha planted last season.
Other summer crops
Please note that only provisional national area planted figures of groundnuts, sorghum and dry beans for the current production season are being released today.
Sunflower seed: The preliminary area estimate for sunflower seed is 551 500 ha, which is 7,01% or 36 150 ha more than the 515 350 ha planted the previous season.
It is estimated that 757 000 ha have been planted to soybeans, which represents an increase of 3,63% or 26 500 ha compared to the 730 500 ha planted last season.
For groundnuts, the area estimate is 37 100 ha, which is 85,04% or 17 050 ha more than the 20 050 ha planted for the previous season.
The area estimate for sorghum decreased by 28,12%, from 50 500 ha to 36 300 ha against the previous season.
For dry beans, the area estimate is 51 450 ha, which is 13,24% or 7 850 ha less than the 59 300 ha planted for the previous season.
Please note that the revised area estimate and first production forecast for summer field crops for 2020 will be released on 26 February 2020.

Somergewasse – 2020
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.
Die hersiene aangeplante oppervlakte en produksiesyfers sal deur die Oesskattingskomitee op 26 Februarie 2020 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 2,535 miljoen ha, wat 10,21% of 234 800 ha meer is as die 2,300 miljoen ha wat verlede seisoen aangeplant is, en ook 0,64% of 16 000 ha meer as die voornemens om te plant syfer van 2,519 miljoen ha soos vrygestel in Oktober 2019.
Die voorlopige oppervlak onder witmielies is 1,515 miljoen ha, wat 'n toename van 16,67% of 216 400 ha verteenwoordig vergeleke met die 1,298 miljoen ha die vorige seisoen. In die geval van geelmielies is die oppervlakteskatting 1,020 miljoen ha, wat 1,84% of 18 400 ha meer is as die 1,002 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 551 500 ha, wat 7,01% of 36 150 ha meer is as die 515 350 ha aangeplant die vorige seisoen.
Die geskatte oppervlakte beplant met sojabone is 757 000 ha, wat 'n toename van 3,63% of 26 500 ha verteenwoordig vergeleke met die 730 500 ha geplant die vorige seisoen.
Vir grondbone is die oppervlakteskatting 37 100 ha, wat 85,04% of 17 050 ha meer is as die 20 050 ha geplant vir die vorige seisoen.
Die oppervlakteskatting vir sorghum het afgeneem met 28,12%, van 50 500 ha tot 36 300 ha teenoor die vorige seisoen.
Vir droëbone is die geskatte oppervlakte beplant 51 450 ha, wat 13,24% of 7 850 ha minder is as die 59 300 ha geplant vir die vorige seisoen.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die hersiene oppervlakte- en eerste produksieskatting vir somergewasse vir 2020, op 26 Februarie 2020 vrygestel sal word.
