South Africa: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

South Africa’s net trade in corn is expected to decrease from 2.0 million tons to 100,000 tons in the 2014/15 MY, due to a mid-summer drought that hit the main corn producing areas. Corn exports are expected to bounce back in the 2015/16 MY, to 1.5 million ton, due to increased area planted. Wheat imports for the 2015/16 MY are expected to increase by six percent to 1.9 million tons, driven by an increase in wheat consumption coupled by a decrease in local production. Rice imports are expected to increase by 10 percent to 1.3 million tons on increased demand.
