Western Australia is on track for a surprise bumper wheat crop, despite low rainfall earlier in the season that had been expected to crimp output.
Australia’s top wheat-producing state is set to produce 10.33 million tons in the 2024/25 season, according to the Grain Industry Association of Western Australia. That would be the third-biggest harvest on record, and is about 1 million tons higher that what the group was expecting in September, when a lack of spring rain was threatening output.
