MARKET OVERVIEW FOR THE
2021/2022 PRODUCTION SEASON
Graph 2 shows the producer delivery for the 2021/2022 season. The graph shows that producer de-
liveries were somewhat lower than the trend for the previous seasons. The season was characterised
by excessive rainfall during planting and harvesting. The excessive rain and moisture had a negative
effect on white-maize gradings. Table 2 compares the 2021/2022 white-maize gradings with those of
previous seasons.
