The top five cultivars per production region are calculated from the cultivar identification done on each of the crop samples analysed per season. These figures, expressed as percentages, are provided on the ‘South African Quality data per production region’ pages in the annual wheat crop quality reports. The dominant cultivar is the cultivar with the highest percentage occurrence in a particular region.
The most popular cultivars per production area and/or province reported as weighted averages, based on the top five cultivars per production region, are also provided in the crop quality report.
Figures of wheat seed sold by commercial grain silo companies to wheat producers for each planting season is provided in the crop reports as well. These figures are not absolute, but the best and only figures available to SAGL. Figures are available from the 1998 planting season.
