South Africa: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

South Africa should return to being a net exporter of corn in the 2017/18 MY and 2016/17 MY on higher production. South Africa is expected to import 2.4 million tons of corn in the 2015/16 MY, due to an extreme drought that had a negative impact on production. South Africa’s total corn crop for the 2016/17 MY is estimated at 14.6 million tons, which is 78 percent higher than the 2015/16 MY’s drought-reduced corn crop of 8.2 million tons. On the other hand, post forecasts that South Africa’s wheat imports for the 2017/18 MY will be almost 40 percent higher than in the 2016/17 MY, at 1.8 million tons, due to an expected decrease in local production. Rice imports are expected to be around 1.0 million tons in the 2017/18 MY.
