South Africa: Grain and Feed Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

South Africa is battling one of the worst droughts ever recorded limiting the production of grains. Corn production is expected to drop by 25 percent to 8.0 million tons in the 2015/16 MY, while wheat production at 1.5 million tons is 14 percent lower. As a result, South Africa will have to import about 3.0 million tons of corn, 2.0 million tons of wheat and about 1.0 million tons of rice in the 2015/16 MY to meet local demand.
