Tridge summary

The Swiss Granum agency has predicted the 2022 harvest to encompass around 451,000 tons of bread-making cereals, roughly equivalent to the 2020 levels, with a slight increase in organic cereals and a notable rise in spelled. Fodder cereals are expected to be harvested at approximately 482,000 tons, similar to 2020 figures, with a slight decrease in fodder wheat but a significant increase in oats. Oilseeds and protein crops are projected to see an increase of 13.3% in protein crops and 5.5% in oilseeds compared to 2020, with rapeseed and sunflower harvests expected to grow by 3.3% and 14.3%, respectively. These predictions are subject to adjustment based on future censuses and are influenced by factors such as seed sales, surveys, and climatic conditions.

Swiss granum estimates the 2022 harvest at the end of May at around 451,000 t of bread-making cereals suitable for bread-making, around 482,000 t of fodder cereals, nearly 18,000 t of protein crops and 112,000 t of oilseeds. Bread-making cereals suitable for bread-making Current estimates are virtually identical to the trend seen at the end of February. Average yields are therefore still expected for autumn cereals due to weather conditions. The area of bread-making cereals (wheat, spelled, rye, emmer/ingrain, meslin) is considered globally stable compared to the previous year. An increase compared to 2021 is expected for the area of organic bread cereals (+ 4.2%, + 400 ha) as well as especially for the area of spelled (+ 20.3%, + 1,350 ha). As for the area of wheat, it should fall by 2.5% (-1671 ha). Most of the decrease is explained by the good sowing conditions of winter wheat on the area of spring wheat which is down by 900 hectares. Compared to the previous year, there is an ...
