Feb. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Wheat production in Australia, the world's third-largest exporter, may more than double this year on speculation one of the nation's worst droughts in 100 years is ending.

Output may be between 20 million metric tons and 26 million tons, the second-highest ever, according to estimates of six analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. That compares with last year's drought-ravaged crop of 9.8 million tons and a record 26.1 million tons produced from the crop sown in 2003.

The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics has lowered its 2007 wheat production forecast to 15.5 million tons, down 7 million from the June estimate but up sharply from last year's harvest of 9.8 million.

Australian weather. Maps will also be watched as the country’s wheat crop needs a big drink during the key stages of forming and filling heads on the plants. This week the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE) slashed its country’s wheat crop estimate by 31 percent due to 15.5 million tonnes.

CBOT trade talk at end week circulated that could shrink to 12 million if it stays dry.

Or even 5.8 tons. My est.
