(2) Basis of Production Estimates. The 2016 estimates of production are based on provisional crop areas from the 2016 June Census, along with crop yield estimates from discussions with industry experts and trade organisations. The 2015 estimates of production are based on final yield results from the 2015 Cereal Production Survey and final crop areas from the 2015 June Census.

Some caution is advised when comparing these preliminary trends in yield and production estimates between 2015 and 2016 which have been derived from different sources. Final estimates of production from the 2016 harvest will be obtained from the 2016 Cereal Production Survey and published in December 2016.
