Ander gewasse
Die produksieskatting van sojabone is ook onveranderd gelaat op 1,890 miljoen ton. Die geskatte oppervlakte beplant van sojabone is 827 100 ha en die verwagte opbrengs is 2,29 t/ha.
Die verwagte grondbone-oes is 58 900 ton, ook onveranderd teenoor die vorige skatting. Vir grondbone is die oppervlakteskatting 38 550 ha, terwyl die verwagte opbrengs 1,53 t/ha is.
Die produksieskatting van sorghum is 209 980 ton wat 2,94% of 6 000 ton meer is as die 203 980 ton van die vorige skatting. Die oppervlakteskatting vir sorghum is 49 200 ha, en die verwagte opbrengs is 4,27 t/ha.
In die geval van droëbone is die produksieskatting 57 672 ton wat 1,94% of 1 095 ton meer is as die 56 577 ton van die vorige skatting. Die oppervlakte beplant met droëbone is 47 390 ha, en die verwagte opbrengs is 1,22 t/ha.
Neem asseblief kennis dat die negende produksieskatting vir somergewasse vir 2021, sowel as die 'voorneme van produsente om somergraangewasse te plant' vir 2022, op 27 Oktober 2021 vrygestel sal word.

Maize / Mielies | 362 900 | 636 440 | 297 460 | 543 545 | +17.09 |
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%.
