In Central Queensland, the harvest for desi chickpeas, barley, & wheat has commenced. Crop quality is good with bulk vessel accumulators for chickpeas chasing tonnages with strong numbers into Mackay and Gladstone ports. We should start to see volume chickpeas harvest from SE Qld in second half October.

Meanwhile, in Victoria & South Australia, frost damage has led to significant lowering of crop production estimates in cereals, canola and lentils. Frost damage is still being assessed by growers and industry and is expected to be significant (about 30-40% expected damages in affected areas). This past week there has been 5-10mm of rain in cropping regions of South Australia and Victoria which were not enough to allow recovery from frost damages. We will need to have at least 20-30mm in next 2 weeks to restore some potential in the lentil crops damaged by frost.

Similarly, some regions in southern New South Wales have also been affected by frost damage but they have received between 15mm-40mm of rain the past week which will reverse some damage into later sown crops.
