South Africa: The South African Animal Feed Industry

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   SF2024-0022
The animal feed industry in South Africa is well established and highly scientific. Efficient formulations have enabled significant expansion of the livestock sector driven by a surge in local meat consumption. Today, the animal feed industry is generally self-sufficient with little imports of either animal feed products or raw material inputs of corn or soybeans. The future growth of the industry is largely dependent on the demand for animal products, and in particular feed intensive industries such as poultry, dairy and pork.
