Western Australia to harvest another record grain harvest

Published 2022년 12월 19일

Tridge summary

Western Australia's crop harvest is projected to reach 24.747 million tons, surpassing the previous record of 24 million tons, as per the Western Australian Grain Industry (GIWA) Harvest Report. The harvest, which includes wheat, barley, rapeseed, oats, lupine, and legumes, is expected to conclude a few weeks later than usual, with the final results due in mid-January 2023. Despite some lower protein content in the grain, the quality is generally good with high grain weight and very low screenings. The harvest is anticipated to see exceptional yields, especially in rapeseed and lupine, although barley yields in the southern regions have been affected by leaf diseases due to high humidity and heat. Rainfall patterns have impacted specific areas, but overall, regions with lower rainfall are expected to increase their contribution to the total harvest.

The protein content in the grain is lower than usual. The quality of the wheat is otherwise good, with very low screenings and high grain weight. Losses due to rain were not so great. Most of the areas in the southern regions affected by rain have not yet been cleaned. Regions ...
