Total production of rapeseed in MY 2016/17 is forecast to decrease by 6 percent to 275,000 MT in comparison to MY 2015/2016. Rapeseed planted area in MY 2016/2017 is expected to increase by 23 percent in comparison to the previous year and amount to 110,000 hectares. After an exceptionally high yield of rapeseed in MY 2015/2016 production per hectare is expected to return to an average level in MY 2016/2017. Increase of planted area of rapeseed stems from growing demand for biofuel production and continuing demand for exports of rapeseed within the European Union.
