9 July 2018 KEY MESSAGES
§
Aggregate crop production in 2017/18 is forecast at 5.5 million tonnes, 5 percent below the 2016/17 level.
§
Production prospects for the 2017/18 early season crops are favourable, partially compensating the reduced main season output gathered in October 2017
that was affected by dry weather conditions.
§
The overall cereal deficit for the 2017/18 marketing year (November/October) is forecast at about 652 000 tonnes, well above the previous year’s already
high level, reflecting an anticipated reduction in domestic output and imports. |
