DRV truncates German rapeseed harvest at 4.5 million tonnes In its Aug estimate comes the German Raiffeisen Federation (DRV) on a 10.9% lower German rapeseed crop in comparison to the previous year. Acreage increased by 3.6% to reduced earnings estimates of 14.1% grow up just yet about 4.46 million tonnes. Last year the harvest was about 5 million t. In individual areas, the results are however very different. In the largest growing region Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 640.920 t to be harvested. Despite increased acreage, one is around 31.5 % lower adoption of yield expected a smaller harvest volume of just under 32%. The canola harvest in Brandenburg is on 366.860 t or 17.8% worse judges than in the previous year. Major cause are the low Flächenerträge. Also Schleswig-Holstein counts at slightly elevated area - 15.1% less rape as a result of lower Flächenerträge. In Lower Saxony, the end result by 10.6% will be at intermediate of 2.4% weaker, because the earnings of 12.6% fully transfer the benefit of the areas. , However, in Thuringia with 14.9% expect a significantly better crop, due to the almost equally between higher acreage and higher Ertrga is... It is estimated a 2 in North Rhine-Westphalia % smaller harvest of rape although the acreage to 9.9% have been increased. The yields are but to fast11% below last year's level. In Baden Württemberg rape harvesting 3.9% less appreciated. Also in this case, the larger acreage will be outweighed by far lower than average yields per hectare. In Bavaria a larger harvested area and a lower yield to zero each other cancel out. The year's harvest of rape has on the one hand regional under suffered very heavy rains on the other hand the rainfall remained in the Northeast too low. Insufficient sunlight was also a yield factor. The French rapeseed crop is estimated also to 4.5 million tonnes. Rape harvesting should be according to preliminary results at almost 20 million tonnes in the EU . , However, expect an above-average big harvest of about 18 million tonnesin Canada . Last year it was still 15 million t. sufficient rainfall this result significantly contributed to.
