Netherlands: Lower yields in potato, sugar beet, and wheat cultivation in 2024

Published 2024년 10월 30일

Tridge summary

In 2024, agricultural production in France faced significant challenges due to wet spring weather, leading to varied sowing times and conditions. Despite these challenges, some crop yields were expected to see slight increases from the previous year. Notably, seed onion production saw a 12% increase in area and a slight increase in yield, though quality issues and a higher failure rate were anticipated. There was also increased production of plant and second-year seed onions, consumption potatoes, and sugar beets, along with a 25% decrease in wheat production due to a disappointing winter wheat harvest. Spring wheat production, on the other hand, doubled, and its yield increased by 16%. The final harvest figures for 2024 will be announced at the end of January 2025.

Due to the wet spring, sowing conditions were challenging and there are major regional differences in sowing time. The area of seed onions increased by almost 12% compared to 2023. The gross yield per hectare is slightly higher than in 2023, at 46.4 tonnes. Both more yellow and more red seed onions were grown. The gross yield per hectare is expected to be 1.7% higher than a year earlier for both crops. The total gross yield of yellow seed onions is estimated at 1.3 million tonnes, that of red seed onions at 200,000 tonnes. However, the quality is estimated to be lower and a higher failure rate is expected compared to last year. The area of second-year seed and plant onions has increased to over 6,000 hectares. The gross yield is 49.2 tonnes per hectare, 4% higher than last year. The total gross yield is estimated at 308,000 tonnes. In 2024, the hectare yield of consumption potatoes will be 46.2 tonnes, almost 1% higher than in 2023. The area increased by 4%. The total gross yield ...
