Record oilseed rape yield and production

In 2022 oilseed rape yield was 4.3 tonnes per hectare. Oilseed rape production was 0.2 million tonnes.

Oilseed rape yield increased by 12% in 2022 to its highest value in the last 20 years. Combined with a 7% increase in area this resulted in the highest production over the past two decades. Production increased 19% compared to 2021.

Oilseed rape estimates are not as reliable as those of other crops. This is because smaller amounts are grown.
