Production conditions in the 2012/2013 production season (continued)
Crop estimate
Malting barley
According to the CEC, 81 320 hectares of malting barley were planted in the 2013/2014 production
season. This was 4,3% or 3 620 hectares less than in the 2012/2013 production season. According
to the CEC’s second winter crop production estimate, 280 961 tons can be produced and a yield of
3,5 tons per hectare can be expected. This will be the third highest average yield yet (

Canola
In the 2013/2014 production season 75 165 hectares of canola were planted – a drastic 31 065 hectares
more than in the previous season. According to the CEC’s second winter crop production estimate,
a crop of 113 001 tons is expected, which is a yield of 1,5 tons per hectare. This will not only be the
biggest canola area yet in South Africa, but also the biggest production produced until now (

Moutgars
Volgens die NOK is daar 81 320 hektaar moutgars in die 2013/2014-produksieseisoen aangeplant. Dit
is 4,3% of 3 620 hektaar minder as in die 2012/2013-produksieseisoen. Volgens die NOK se tweede
wintergewas-oesskatting kan 280 961 ton geproduseer word en ‘n opbrengs van 3,5 ton per hektaar verwag
word, wat die derde hoogste gemiddelde opbrengs nog sal wees (

Kanola
In die 2013/2014-produksieseisoen is 75 165 hektaar kanola aangeplant, ‘n drastiese 31 065 hektaar meer
as in die vorige seisoen. Volgens die NOK se tweede wintergewas-oesskatting word ‘n oes van 113 001 ton
verwag wat ‘n opbrengs van 1,5 ton per hektaar is. Dit sal nie net die grootste kanola-oppervlakte nog in
Suid-Afrika wees nie, maar ook die grootste produksie wat tot nou toe geproduseer is (

Produksie-omstandighede in die 2012/2013-produksieseisoen (vervolg)
At several meetings Grain SA requested the CEC to release additional information on the provision of
crop estimates. This additional information is important to support and better explain the estimates.
Grain SA is excited about the supplementary information that is now released with the crop estimate
figures, as this promotes the transparency of the crop estimate. The CEC has agreed to also publish
the division of maize between dryland and irrigation, when the monthly production estimate figures
are released. We encourage you to visit the Grain SA website and click on our new “crop estimate
link” to view the following additional information:
1. Yields per magisterial district, as obtained from producers.
2. Data input providers that are taken into account every month.
3. Objectives of the CEC.
Oesskatting
Graan SA het tydens verskeie vergaderings die NOK versoek om addisionele inligting rakende die
daarstel van oesskattingsyfers vry te stel. Hierdie addisionele inligting is belangrik om die skattings te
ondersteun en beter te verduidelik.
Graan SA is opgewonde oor die aanvullende inligting wat nou saam met die oesskattingsyfers vrygestel
word, aangesien dit die deursigtigheid van die oesskatting bevorder. Die NOK het ingestem om tydens
die vrystelling van die maandelikse produksieskattingsyfers, nou ook die verdeling van mielies tussen
droëland en besproeiing bekend te maak. Ons moedig u aan om na Graan SA se webtuiste te gaan en
op ons nuwe “oesskattingskakel” te klik sodat die onderstaande addisionele inligting besigtig kan word:
1. Opbrengste per landdrosdistrik, soos verkry vanaf produsente.
2. Data-insetverskaffers wat elke maand in ag geneem word.
3. Doelwitte van die NOK.
