Plantings to summer crops in 2022–23 are forecast to remain well above average

Sept. 8, 2022 | 3 min read
The area planted to summer crops in 2022–23 is forecast to increase by 2% to reach 1.6 million hectares. This is supported by the combination of significant areas of land previously left fallow during winter in Queensland and New South Wales, ample soil moisture availability in late winter for planting crops, and the favourable seasonal conditions expected over spring. Summer crop production is forecast to reach the fifth highest on record at 5.2 million tonnes, remaining 6% below the record production of last season. Production of grain sorghum is forecast to reach the fourth highest on record at 2.6 million tonnes, supported by well above average area and yields. Production of cotton lint is forecast to reach the third highest on record of 1.1 million tonnes.
