Western Australia's crop potential for the upcoming harvest has been downgraded due to a lack of spring rain in grazing regions, according to the Grain Industry Association of Western Australia (GIWA). The total tonnage is now expected to be about 16,858,000 tonnes, down from 17,438,000 tonnes, with some areas potentially producing as little as 15 million tonnes. The most significant impact has been on wheat, with estimates dropping from 5,050,000 tonnes to 4,450,000 tonnes, while barley and canola remain steady or show a slight increase. The lack of rain has also affected barley and canola in medium and low rainfall areas, and lupin crops have benefits for following crops but may not deliver a profit this year due to a lack of pods.

A lack of spring rain across Western Australia's graingrowing regions has seen WA's crop potential be downgraded. Last month the Grain Industry Association of Western Australia (GIWA) predicted the overall WA crop output for the upcoming harvest could be about 17,438,000 tonnes. However a lack of finishing rains since has put a question mark on the final figures. In GIWA's September crop report, released today, the overall tonnage is more likely to be about 16,858,000t. "There are still areas in the southern regions that could recover grain yield potential if they receive 20 millimetres of rain in the next two weeks, although without this, the total tonnage for the State could be closer to 15 million tonnes rather than 17mt as it stands now," GIWA said. Last month the Kwinana port zone was expected to produce 8,192,000t, but this has since been downgraded to 7,672,000t. Of that, wheat estimates are now at 4,450,000t, down from 5,050,000t, while barley remains steady at 1,900,000t ...
