Description:
The Australian crop report provides high quality and timely information that supports higher farm gate returns through informed decision making by primary producers. In this edition, ABARES will release its latest forecast of 2020–21 winter crop production and its first set of detailed forecasts of summer crop production in 2020–21. Key Issues After two years of well below average winter crop production in Australia, production in 2020–21 is forecast to well exceed the 10-year average to 2019–20. This reflects better than expected crop development in many cropping regions during winter. Crop prospects are average to above average in most cropping regions at the beginning of spring. The strongest crop prospects are in New South Wales. According to the latest three‐month rainfall outlook (September to November), issued by the Bureau of Meteorology on 28 August 2020, it is likely that spring rainfall will be above average in most cropping regions in eastern states and South Australia. It is uncertain whether spring rainfall in cropping regions in Western Australia will be above or below average. The area planted to summer crops is forecast to increase significantly in 2020–21 from drought affected levels in 2019–20, returning to levels that are slightly above the 10-year average to 2019–20. Summer crop planting is expected to take place from September 2020 until February 2021.
