Summary

This report provides forecasts for the year 2002 for the yields per hectare and total production of cereals and oilseed crops. The results are presented for all of Sweden.

Yield per hectare

The forecast for the yields per hectare of cereal crops are expected to be a little bit higher than the standard yields. Compared to the average yields for the last five years the yield per hectare of cereal crops are expected to be between 5 and 10 % higher.

For oilseed crops the forecasts of the yields per hectares are higher than the standard yield except for spring rape. Compared with the average yield for the last five years the yields of spring and winter rape are expected to be lower, while the yields of spring and winter turnip rape are expected to be higher.

Total production

The forecast of the total production of cereals is 5,5 million tons for 2002, which is almost 2% higher than for 2001. In general winter cereals are expected to have a lower production while the spring cereals are expected to have a higher production than for 2001. This is mainly due to lower areas of winter cereals and higher areas of spring cereals. Compared to the average production for the last five years the production 2002 are expected to be almost the same.

The total production of oilseeds is expected to be more than 40 % higher than 2001 due to higher areas. Compared to the average production for the last five years the production for 2002 is expected to be about 18 % higher.
