Report Highlights:

South Africa currently produces about a million tons of sunflower seed
and soybeans per year. This amounts to about half of annual consumption
requirements. The shortfall is made good by meal and oil imports, mainly
from Argentina. This situation is not likely to change much in the
foreseeable future.

###### Summary {#summary-1}

South Africa produces about a million tons of the main oilseeds,
sunflower and soybeans, per year. This amounts to about half of annual
consumption requirements. As a result of different oil and meal yields
local production constitutes one third of the protein needs and half the
oil needs. Ironically there is serious overproduction of corn in spite
of a 33% cutback in area planted since deregulation of the agricultural
industry. In a perfect world the area planted to oilseeds would increase
and the area planted to corn decrease. Oilseed production is slow to
increase as international product prices are low, the SA Rand strong,
and import tariffs low. As a result, imports mainly from Argentina
amounted to about 650,000 tons of soybean meal and about 175,000 tons of
oil in 2004 and this is likely to continue.

South Africa is a plant protein deficient country. The production of
sunflower is the main supply of local protein due to agronomic
conditions and oil preferences, is spite of the high demand for soybean
meal. Soybean oil is gaining market share. The main demand for protein
in the animal feed sector is for soybean meal, which has an advantage in
the production of poultry feeds due to its high protein and low fiber
content compared to sunflower meal. The use of sunflower meal is limited
by its high fiber and lower protein content. Sunflower and soybean
production has been increasing but it is still short of domestic demand.

During 2004 South Africa imported sunflower oil equivalent to 223,000
tons of sunflowers, the soybean meal equivalent of 650,000 tons of
soybeans and soy oil equivalent of 975,000 tons. It can thus be argued
that sunflower production can be expanded by about 200,000 tons (150,000
ha.) and soybean production by 800,000 tons (450,000 ha.) This shift in
production will solve the corn oversupply problems. It will, however,
require adequate import protection and/or a weaker SA Rand to encourage
domestic production. The strong Rand and low import tariffs currently
limits domestic production in this free economy. Ironically, at the end
of 2004 there were still 125,000 tons of locally produced sunflower seed
and 100,000 tons of soybeans carried over to the new season as a result
of the low prices caused by the cheap products imported.

The area planted to sunflower constituted about 72%, soybeans 22% and
peanuts 6% of the total area planted to the main oilseeds in 2004.
Canola and cottonseed are further locally produced sources of protein.

The crops planted in 2004 initially suffered from a late start to the
rainfall season. Later in the growing season conditions improved, and
the average yield of the 2004 sunflower crop is actually higher than in
2003. The long season soybean crop, however, suffered during a mid
season hot, dry spell and the yield decreased. An increase in oilseed
production is forecast for the crops to be planted in 2005, mainly due
to the low price for corn.

# **Consumption** 

Domestic consumption is summarized in the following table. The high feed
and seed total for soybeans is due to the extensive use of full fat soy
in feeds. This amounted to 142,000 tons in CY 2003 and 126,000 tons in
CY 2004, and could increase significantly during the current and
following season because of the improved supply. The production of
soybean products for human consumption amounted to 45,000 tons in CY
2003 and 35,000 tons in CY 2004.

but is expected to stabilize at this level. The major processor of
soybeans for food insists on non-GMO beans, as some of the local and
international markets require non-GMO products.

The July 2005 soybean price is down 45%, sunflower seed down 27%, and
corn down 45% on the corresponding prices last year. This is mainly due
to the low import parity price for oilseed products and a massive
oversupply in corn.

# **Trade**

Trade in oilseeds is limited with none exceeding 100,000 tons. About
18,000 tons of sunflower seed, 18,000 tons of soybeans and 17,000 tons
of peanuts were imported during 2004 but the oilseed trade is in meal
and oil. Edible peanut imports and exports continue. The MY2004/05
exports amounted to 21,100 tons after 20,400 tons were exported during
the previous season. At the same time imports amounted to 12,300 tons
after 18,500 tons were imported during the previous season.

Current import tariffs are available on the
[**www.cargoinfo.co.za**](http://www.cargoinfo.co.za/) website but is
summarized in the following table.

It is clear from the table above that South Africa is only producing
about a third of its plant protein needs and imports two thirds. In 2004
the U.S. sold 22,000 tons of soybean meal to South Africa and Argentina
629,000 tons for a total of 651,000 tons. Argentina also sold 32,000
tons of sunflower meal to South Africa.

Detailed feed production and use statistics are available from the feed
producers website at [**www.afma.co.za**](http://www.afma.co.za/).

According to the table South Africa produced about half of the two main
table oils consumed in 2004. Traditionally sunflower oil was the
preferred edible oil but soybean oil is growing in importance as it is
cheaper and is denatured and blended with other oils in the final
product.
