Cereal and oilseed rape harvest: final estimates - 2024

Final estimates of area, yield and production for winter and spring barley, wheat, oats and oilseed rape, for the 2024 harvest.


Oats production increases but remains below average

In 2024, oats yield is 6.6 tonnes per hectare, nearly reaching its highest value over the last 5 years.

Oats production is around 0.18 million tonnes. Production increases by 15% compared to 2023 due to increases in area (5%) and yield (9%).

While it is a good year for oat yield, area and production just fall short of the 5-year average.
