AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION CONDITIONS

The harvesting process for oilseeds is nearing completion with some sunflower hectares still to be harvested. Producers are harvesting maize in earnest; with 50-60% already harvested in the North West and 75% harvested in the Eastern parts of the country. Feedback from producers indicate they generally harvest lower than expected maize yields due to the impact of several factors (insufficient heat units, fertilizer leaching, excess rain, etc.). In general it is a very good maize season while it is an above average soybean season
