Poland: 2018 Annual Oilseeds and Products Report

In marketing year (MY) 2018/19 (July-June), Polish rapeseed production will drop to 2 million metric tons (MMT), a 26 percent decrease from MY2017/18. This production decrease stems from unfavorable weather conditions during fall planting in 2017 and drought conditions in May-July 2018. Rapeseed area planted was about 850,000 hectares, a 7 percent decline from the previous marketing year. Yields will drop from MY2017/18 due to hot, dry weather during late spring and early summer, which adversely affected plant development and reduced seed size.
