Bulgarian rapeseed production is forecast to rebound in MY 2021/22. As of mid-July, the rapeseed harvest was 46 percent complete with reported yields exceeding earlier estimates and production projected to reach up to 360,000 MT.

The Czech grain crop (excluding corn) is the second lowest in a decade due to a drop in yields but with essentially unchanged year-on-year sowing area.

Due to an expectation of relatively higher yields supported by normal precipitation across central India, Post’s preliminary kharif (fall harvested) crop assessment indicates soybean production....

Drought and high temperatures negatively affected oilseeds yields in many regions of the EU. Particularly rapeseed production suffered from the unfavorable weather conditions.

Due to the ongoing trade tension between the United States and China, Post forecasts soybean imports will fall by 1 million metric tons (MMT) to 94 MMT in MY18/19 and total oilseed imports....

South Africa produced a historical-high summer oilseed crop of 2.5 million tons in the 2017/18 MY with a further increase in oilseed production projected for the 2018/19 MY to 2.6 million tons.
