Germany: Grain and rapeseed harvest in Schleswig-Holstein 2024

Published Jul 26, 2024

Tridge summary

The 2024 grain harvest in Schleswig-Holstein is projected at 2.2 million tonnes, slightly above last year but below the six-year average. Higher yields per hectare are offset by a reduced cultivation area due to wet weather hindering winter cereal sowing in autumn 2023, leading to a 17% decrease in winter cereal area. Summer cereals, winter barley, and oats saw increased areas and yields, while winter rapeseed cultivation dropped by 15% with a 21% expected yield reduction. Final yields depend on upcoming weather conditions, and the forecast is based on official reports and preliminary survey results as of June 2024.

The reason for the lower harvest despite the above-average yields per hectare in the six-year average is the reduced area under grain cultivation. This year's cereal growing area (excluding grain maize) decreased by a good seven percent compared to the previous year, to 272,200 hectares (ha). ...
