Late season planting of grain sorghum is expected to be minimal because of unfavourable seasonal conditions over the past three months. These conditions are also expected to adversely affect yields and production is forecast to fall to 1.5 million tonnes. \r\n&rft.creator=Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences&rft.date=2023&rft.coverage=Australia&rft.coverage=151.122622,-25.371968&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0&rft_subject=AGRICULTURE&rft_subject=AGRICULTURE Crops&rft_subject=AGRICULTURE Crops statistics&rft_subject=Audstralian&rft_subject=Biota&rft_subject=CLIMATE AND WEATHER El Nino&rft_subject=CLIMATE AND WEATHER La Nina&rft_subject=Climatology Meteorology and Atmosphere&rft_subject=Farming&rft_subject=INDUSTRY&rft_subject=INDUSTRY Primary&rft_subject=New South Wales&rft_subject=Queensland&rft_subject=South Australia&rft_subject=Tasmania&rft_subject=Victoria&rft_subject=Western Australia&rft_subject=autumn&rft_subject=autumn rainfall&rft_subject=barley&rft_subject=canola&rft_subject=chickpeas&rft_subject=cotton&rft_subject=crop&rft_subject=crop development&rft_subject=crop harvesting&rft_subject=crop planting&rft_subject=dclimatic and agronomic conditions&rft_subject=grains&rft_subject=lupins&rft_subject=oilseeds&rft_subject=production&rft_subject=rice&rft_subject=soil moisture conditions&rft_subject=sorghum&rft_subject=south-eastern Australia&rft_subject=spring&rft_subject=spring rainfall&rft_subject=statistics&rft_subject=summer&rft_subject=summer rainfall&rft_subject=wheat&rft_subject=winter&rft_subject=winter rainfall&rft.type=dataset&rft.language=English Access the data

Brief description

The report is a quarterly report with a consistent and regular assessment of crop prospects for major field crops, forecasts of area, yield and production and a summary of seasonal conditions on a state by state basis.

Key issues
• Harvesting of winter crops is largely complete across the country following a mixed season. Total winter crop production is estimated to have decreased by 36 per cent to 37.8 million tonnes in 2017-18. This is an upward revision of 8 per cent from the ABARES forecast published in the December 2017 Australian crop report. This largely reflects yields being better than anticipated in some regions following very favourable seasonal conditions during spring and early summer in these regions.
• Production is estimated to have fallen in 2017-18 for three major crops: wheat by 38 per cent to 21.2 million tonnes, barley by 33 per cent to 8.9 million tonnes and canola by 15 per cent to 3.7 million tonnes.
• Planting of summer crops is now largely complete and total area planted to summer crops is estimated to have increased by 3 per cent to 1.3 million hectares in 2017-18. This is a downward revision of 9 per cent from the forecast ABARES published in the December 2017 edition of Australian crop report. This revision reflects seasonal conditions in December and January that were unfavourable for the planting of grain sorghum.
