Underpinning the forecasts contained in the Australian Crop Report are ABARES assessments of both realised and forecast planting, growing and harvesting conditions in each major production region. This assessment would not be possible without the invaluable participation of a network of expert industry contacts who are confidentially consulted during the preparation of each edition of the Australian Crop Report.
The Australian Crop Report is released quarterly in March, June, September and December. The June edition contains ABARES first forecasts of Australian winter crop production at the state level for the next Australian financial year (July to June). It also contains updated estimates of previously released summer crop forecasts. The September edition contains ABARES first forecasts of Australian summer crop production at the state level for the current Australian financial year. It also contains updated estimates of previously released winter crop forecasts. The December and March editions contain updates to both winter and summer crop forecasts for that Australian financial year.
