South Africa: Grain and Feed Update

  |   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 after South Africa had to import 2.2 million tons of corn in the 2015/16 MY, due to an extreme drought. South Africa’s commercial corn crop is estimated at a historically high level of 16 million tons in the 2016/17 MY, an increase of 105 percent from the 2015/16 MY drought-reduced commercial corn crop of 7.8 million tons. Post estimates South Africa will export about 2.5 million tons and two million tons of corn, respectively, in the 2016/17 MY and 2017/18 MY.
