Similar ratings were given in July to 65.1 million tonnes. The increase in expectations was due to the improved prospects for the harvest in Canada, which will offset the decline in the EU, Ukraine and China. Ukraine and the EU have nearly completed harvesting.
The rapeseed crop in Canada is estimated at 17 million tonnes, 1.1 million tonnes above the July forecast, however, in relation to the 2015/16 season the yield reduction still amounts to 1.2%. Forecast for Ukraine was reduced to 1.2 million tonnes (1.3 million tonnes - the July assessment), which is 32.4% lower than the result of the 2015/16 season (1.7 million tons). For the EU crop forecast was reduced to 20.2 million tonnes (20.9 million tonnes, the July estimate), which is 8.2% below the harvest of the previous season, which had collected 22 million tons of rapeseed.
Area harvested of rapeseed in all countries is estimated at 33.5 million hectares ( 34 million hectares in the 2015/16 season), and the average yield of rapeseed is 4% below the result of the previous season and will be 1.9 t/ha.
