Sorghum
Grafiek 4 toon die sorghum-oppervlakte aangeplant, produksie en
gemiddelde opbrengs sedert die 1990/1991-seisoen. Die sorghum-
oppervlakte het gedurende hierdie tydperk ’n duidelike dalende
tendens getoon en gevolglik die produksie ook, hoewel die gemiddelde
opbrengs ’n stygende tendens oor hierdie tydperk getoon het.
Gedurende die 2018/2019-seisoen is ’n totaal van 50 500 ha sorghum
in Suid-Afrika aangeplant.
Die totale produksie vir die seisoen word op 130 875 ton geskat en
die gemiddelde sorghumopbrengs vir die 2018/2019-seisoen beloop
2,59 t/ha. Dit is aansienlik laer as die vorige seisoen se opbrengs van
3,99 t/ha en ook effens laer as die afgelope vyf jaar se gemiddelde
opbrengs van 2,82 t/ha.
Grondbone
Grafiek 5 toon die oppervlakte aangeplant, produksie en gemiddelde
opbrengs van grondbone in Suid-Afrika sedert die 2000/2001-seisoen.
Die 2018/2019-seisoen was sekerlik weer een wat onthou sal word as ’n
uitdagende produksieseisoen. As gevolg van die laat reën kon heelwat
grondbone nie aangeplant word nie.
Die totale oppervlakte grondbone wat gedurende die 2018/2019-produk-
sie-seisoen aangeplant is, was 20 050 ha. Totale produksie vir die seisoen
word op 20 030 ton geskat teen ’n gemiddelde opbrengs van 0,99 t/ha.
Hoewel die gemiddelde opbrengs vir die 2018/2019-seisoen effens beter
was as die vorige seisoen se opbrengs van 0,95 t/ha, was dit aansienlik
laer as die afgelope vyf jaar se gemiddelde opbrengs van 1,17 t/ha.
Koring
Die 2018/2019-seisoen was ’n baie uitdagende seisoen vir koringproduk-
sie met die reën en omgewingstoestande wat veral in die Wes-Kaap eers
laat in die seisoen in produsente se guns begin tel het. Droë toestande
het vir die grootste gedeelte van die produksieseisoen geheers en sterk
winde het gelei tot uitdagende produksietoestande. Die totale oppervlak-
te van 503 350 ha wat gedurende die 2018/2019-seisoen aangeplant is,
was ongeveer 2,33% meer as die vorige seisoen se aanplantings van
491 600 ha. Volgens die Nasionale Oesskattingkomitee (NOK) se fina-
le skatting van wintergrane vir die 2018/2019-seisoen het die totale
produksie 1 868 000 ton beloop. Dit was ongeveer 17,83% hoër as die
vorige seisoen se produksie.
Sorghum
Graph 4 shows the total area planted, production and the average
yield of sorghum in South Africa since the 1990/1991 season. The
area of sorghum planted during this period showed a clear declining
trend, as did the production, although the average yield showed an
increase over this period. During the 2018/2019 season a total of
50 500 ha of sorghum were planted in South Africa.
The total production for the season was estimated at 130 875 tons,
and the average sorghum yield for the 2018/2019 season amounted
to 2,59 t/ha. This was considerably lower than the previous season’s
yield of 3,99 t/ha, and also slightly lower than the average yield of
2,82 t/ha for the past five years.
Groundnuts
Graph 5 shows the area planted, production and the average yield of
groundnuts in South Africa since the 2000/2001 season. The 2018/2019
season will certainly once more be remembered as a challenging pro-
duction season. Due to the late rain, a considerable amount of ground-
nuts could not be planted.
The total area of groundnuts planted during the 2018/2019 production
season was 20 050 ha. Total production for the season was estimated
at 20 030 tons, with an average yield of 0,99 t/ha. Although the average
yield for the 2018/2019 season was slightly better than the yield of
0,95 t/ha of the previous season, it was considerably lower than the
average yield of 1,17 t/ha for the past five years.
Wheat
The 2018/2019 season was a very challenging one for wheat
production, with the rain and environmental conditions starting to
swing in producers’ favour only late in the season, especially in the
Western Cape. Dry conditions prevailed for the greatest part of the
production season, and strong winds led to challenging production
conditions. The total area of 503 350 ha planted during the 2018/2019
season was approximately 2,33% higher than the previous season’s
plantings of 491 600 ha. According to the Crop Estimates Committee
(CEC)'s final estimate for winter grains for the 2018/2019 season, the
total production amounted to 1 868 000 tons. This was approximately
17,83% higher than the previous season’s production.
