Wheat yield and production expected to remain high

In 2023 wheat yield is predicted to be 9.1 tonnes per hectare. Wheat production is predicted to be around 980 thousand tonnes.

A predicted 2% decrease in yield is expected to result in a 2% decrease in wheat production compared to 2022. However, wheat production remains above the ten-year average.
