Poland: Rapeseed and Oilseed Products
It is estimated that in MY 2016/2017 rapeseed planted area amounts to 940,000 hectares, a one percent decline in comparison to the previous year due to unusually dry weather during the planting season in the fall of 2015. Despite low temperatures and lack of snow cover in December 2015, the development of rapeseed plantings was assessed as well in February 2016 with good prospects for the 2016 harvest. Poland’s total production of rapeseed in MY 2016/17 is forecast to increase by 2 percent to 3.0 million MT in comparison to MY 2015/2016. Higher yields are expected to offset reduction of planted area and should result in bigger crop in MY2016/2017.
