  • Production of ear cereals decreases except for wheat, Ear cereals, 2018

    **
  • Average yield of wheat continues to grow, Ear cereals, 2017

    7.2 million tonnes of ear cereals, 8.7% less than in the previous year, were produced in 2017 on a 10% smaller area. Apart from oats and triticale, average yields surpassed the previous year’s values. The average yield of wheat was merely 10 kilogrammes less per hectare than the record yield to date. The yield of barley was outstanding, 5,270 kilogrammes were produced per hectare.
  • More ear cereals produced again, wheat has a yield close to record, Ear cereals, 2016

    7.9 million tonnes of ear cereals, 5.1% more than in the previous year, were produced in 2016 on a 0.4% smaller area. The yields of all cereals surpassed those in 2015. The yield of wheat was higher merely in 1988 than this year, it was 20% higher than the average of the previous five years. Similarly to last year, higher yields can be explained mostly by favourable weather for plants.
  • More ear cereals produced on smaller area, yield close to record, Ear cereals, 2015

    7.5 million tonnes of ear cereals, 2.8% more than in the previous year, were produced in 2015 on a 4.6% smaller area. The yields − except rye – exceeded those in the previous year. The yield of wheat has not been as high since 1991, it was 22% higher than the average of the previous five years. The growth was favoured by rainy weather last autumn and this May.
  • Production of ear cereals increases by 6.1%, Harvested areas, production and yields of ear cereals, 2014, (Preliminary data)

    In 2014 7.2 million tonnes of ear cereals were produced, 6.1% more than in the previous year, on a 3.1% larger area. The primary reason for the growth was favourable weather conditions during the growing season, to which the increase of yields also contributed. The yields of ear cereals − except rye – exceeded as well the data for the previous year. The production of wheat was 23% higher than the average for the previous five years.
  • Production of ear cereals increases by 25%, Harvested area, production and average yield of ear cereals, 2013 (Preliminary data)

    In 2013, 25% more, some 7 million tons of ear cereals were produced, on almost the same area as in the previous year. The yield of ear cereals sown in autumn was significantly higher than the data of the previous year. The production of more than 5.1 million tons of wheat shows an increase of 28% compared to the previous year and is 17% higher than the average of the previous 5 years.
  • Decreasing production on increasing area, Harvested area, production and average yield of ear cereals, 2012 (Preliminary data)

    In 2012 5.5 million tons of ear cereals were produced, 2% less than in the previous year, on an 8% larger area. The primary reason for the decrease was unfavourable weather conditions. Yields did not reach the figures of the previous year, except for oats. The production of almost 4 million tons of wheat shows a decrease of 3% compared to the previous year and is 9% lower than the average of the previous 5 years.
  • Harvested area, production and average yield of ear cereals, 2011

    In 2011 cereals were produced on 1.4 million hectares, a 5 per cent smaller area than in 2010, while production increased by 8% and amounted to nearly 5.7 million tons. The production of wheat, which is our most important cereal, was 7 per cent less than the average of the previous five years. Barley was also harvested from a smaller area than in the previous year, while its production increased by 5%.
  • Harvested area, production and average yield of ear cereals, 2010

    In 2010, 5.3 million tons of ear cereals were produced on 1.5 million hectares, which area is 11% less than in 2009. Due to the smaller average yield of wheat and winter barley, the ear cereal production in 2010 was 12% lower than in the previous year and 19% less than the average of the previous 5 years. The production of wheat, which is the most important cereal in Hungary, decreased by 15% compared to 2009, and was 20% less than the average production in years 2005-2009.
