Wheat

Corn, the most important grain crop in South Africa, is projected to see a 2% increase in production, reaching 16 million metric tons.

Originally set to conclude on April 30, 2025, the program will now continue from May 1 through the end of the year.

The USDA attributes this positive outlook to an expected 7% rise in yields, reaching 1.2 tonnes per hectare.

This shift in Morocco’s wheat sourcing is largely attributed to shortages in French wheat production.

The results indicate that greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by 33% due to more efficient fertilizer use and precision application, while energy use has dropped by 57% thanks to improved fuel efficiency and reduced tillage.
