The Australian wheat harvest may almost double from a year earlier after widespread downpours in the key growing regions bolstered yields, according to a government forecast.
Wheat production is estimated at 28.9 million tons in 2020-2021, 91% more than a year earlier, according to the September crop report from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences. That compares with its June outlook of 26.7 million tons.
