2022 crop: high yield and good oil content for rapeseed
The Observatory of the quality of rapeseed has just published its summary sheet for the 2022 harvest. It attests to a high yield, with excellent quality, in particular a very good oil content of 44.4% by standard.
In 2022, 1,225,000 ha of rapeseed were cultivated in France, up 25% compared to 2021. With a record national yield of 36.7 q/ha, the highest since 2017, national production exceeded 4,500,000 t, 36% higher than 2021.
Rapeseed benefited from good establishment and development conditions in the fall, followed by relatively dry weather conditions. These climatic conditions have allowed to obtain a very good oil content, up by 2 points compared to 2021, with a satisfactory protein content, and a lower glucosinolate content, making this campaign one of the best recorded in recent years.
