Report Coverage

This report focuses on the manufacture of prepared animal feeds and pet food and includes information on the state and size of these industries and the factors that influence them. There are profiles of 21 companies including major animal feed manufacturers such as PhilAfrica Foods, Astral Operations, RCL Foods, Nutri Feeds and Quantum Foods, and pet food manufacturers including Royal Canin, Montego Pet Nutrition and Martin and Martin.

Introduction

South African is the biggest producer of animal feed on the continent and the animal feed industry is the biggest consumer of grain products in South Africa. In 2019, agriculture contributed 1.88% to GDP. The Animal Feed Manufacturers Association (AFMA) reports a 0.3% per year increase in feed volumes in South Africa, and in the 2019/20 production year, total animal feed sales of its members amounted to 6.72 million tons (Mt) – 57.5% of South Africa’s feed production of 12Mt. The value of imported animal feed products and related raw materials remained steady at R5.5bn in 2019 compared to 2018. Exports declined by 12% to R4.3bn in 2019 from R4.9bn in 2018. South Africa’s pet food production was 315,000 tons valued at R5.9bn in 2019. The coronavirus pandemic, which followed fresh outbreaks of African swine fever in China, affected the global animal feed industry, and in South Africa new outbreaks of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in early 2020 affected the beef export industry, resulting in reduced demand for animal feed.

Strengths

• The formal industry has strict quality control systems.
• There will be demand for animal feed as long as people eat animal protein.
• Well-established agricultural financial markets.

Weaknesses

• Delays in product registration.
• Increasing dependence on imported inputs.
• Large informal manufacturing sector which does not adhere to formal standards and practices.
• Low investment in research and development.
• Poor agricultural support, policy uncertainty and a regulatory environment that applies only to the formal sector.

Opportunities

• As global populations continue to grow so does the demand for animal feed.
• Increasing use of by-products and alternate feed sources could reduce input costs.
• Lessons learnt during the pandemic could lead to greater innovation.
• Manufacture of feed using technological advances will provide more precise and effective feed.
• Opportunities for production of feed ingredients for niche products.
• Rise in pet ownership in Africa.

Threats

• Climate change and increased natural disasters and increased awareness of impact of meat production on the environment and changes in food choices.
• Continued raw material volatility and price increases in input costs.
• Economic crisis from the pandemic poses a threat to food production with a slowdown in the food supply chain, and reduced consumer disposable income.
• Impact of African swine fever and foot and mouth disease.
• Increasing low-cost poultry imports.
• Pandemic will lead to a drive for more efficient and cost-effective animal feed production.
• Regulatory requirements and processing delays.
• Unreliable electricity and water supply.

Outlook

The animal feed industry will be focused on sustainability with research and development focused on feed production using fewer resources in order to reduce greenhouse gas, carbon footprint and water consumption impacts. Chicken meat production is expected to increase but the industry remains affected by cheap, imported poultry meat. The benefits of consuming seafood have positioned aquaculture as a growth opportunity. Despite a dire economic outlook and the pandemic, there are indications that animal feed consumption in the animal feed industry in South Africa will increase by an average of 2.54% annually to 14.63Mt by 2022. Animal feed industry stakeholders believe the lessons learnt during the pandemic can transform into a more efficient industry and supply chains. Smaller producers, however, indicated they are surviving month by month.

Report Coverage

The report on the animal feed and pet food sector discusses current conditions, recent developments and factors that impact feed production and sales. Twenty-one industry players are profiled, including the four local feed producers that feature in the Alltech 2017 top 100 global feed producers’ list: Astral Meadow Feeds, Quantum Nova Feeds, RCL Foods and Sovereign Food Investments. Also profiled is Promeal (Pty) Ltd which asserts it is the country’s leading wet dog food manufacturer with a market share of more than 55%.

Introduction

This report focuses on the increasingly competitive animal feed industry, which may well contract in 2018 for the second year running following 20 years of continuous growth. The Alltech Global Feed Survey 2018 reported total 2017 South African feed production at 11.136 million metric tons (MMT) down from 11.74MMT in 2016 with the country still ranked the 22nd-largest global animal feed producer. The estimated value of national feed production for 2017 remained at 2015 levels, at R50bn per annum, as did the pet food industry, at R5bn. The promulgation of the new Animal Feeds and Pet Food Bill expected in 2018 will introduce risk-based principles for animal feed production, fundamentally changing the way the industry operates to ensure sustainably-produced safe feed and food for livestock, people and pets.

Strengths

• The formal industry has strict quality control systems.
• There will be demand for animal feed as long as people eat animal protein.
• Well-established agricultural financial markets.

Weaknesses

• Delays in product registration.
• Increasing dependence on imported inputs.
• Large informal manufacturing sector which does not adhere to formal standards and practices.
• Low R & D investment.
• Poor agricultural support, policy uncertainty and a below par regulatory environment.

Opportunities

• Animal feed demand forecast to rise by 80% between 2006 and 2050.
• Increasing use of by-products and alternate feed sources could reduce input costs.
• Manufacture of feed using technological advances such as nutrigenomics and molecular probes will give a new level of precision to effective feed manufacturing and livestock production.
• Rising population and GDP locally and in Africa.

Threats

• Climate Change.
• Continued raw material volatility and price increases in input costs.
• Electricity and water supply security.
• Impact of Avian Flu and outbreaks of other diseases on operations.
• Increasing poultry imports.
• Regulatory requirements and processing delays for the formal and informal sectors.
• Rising unemployment and reduced consumer disposable income reducing spending on meat products and pet food.

Outlook

The 2017/18 market perception of AFMA feed sales indicates sideways movement showing little to no growth over the following year and AFMA believes the industry will remain economically challenged into 2020 despite lower raw material costs as the livestock industries rebuild. AFMA chairman Louwtjie Dunn estimates 2018 annual feed volume at 6.5MMT rising to 6.762MMT by 2020 and concludes that a difficult period lies ahead for the industry. Stakeholders predict that in the short-term feed prices will remain under pressure, competition will continue to intensify and a further reduction in industry players is expected.

Report Coverage

The report on the animal feed and pet food sector discusses current conditions, corporate actions and factors influencing the success of the sector. Twenty industry players are profiled, including major companies Astral Operations Ltd with its Meadow Feeds Division, Quantum Foods and AFGRI Animal Feeds. Also profiled are SA Premix, which manufactures premixes for animal feeds, and wet and dry pet food manufacturer, Martin and Martin (Pty) Ltd.

Introduction

This report focuses on the highly competitive animal feed industry. The Animal Feed Manufacturers’ Association (AFMA) reports total national feed production during 2015/2016 was estimated at 11.66 million metric tons (MMT), with AFMA members contributing 61%. The Alltech 2016 Global Feed Survey ranked South Africa the 22nd largest animal feed producer in 2015 with national feed production gross turnover value estimated at R50bn per annum. Feed industry players continue to report good results despite the ongoing challenges faced over the last two years as a result of reduced rainfall in 2014, the drought of 2015/2016, the ensuing shortages of raw materials and significant raw material cost increases.

Strengths

• The formal industry has strict quality control systems.
• There will be demand for animal feed as long as people eat animal protein.

Weaknesses

• Large informal manufacturing sector which does not adhere to formal standards and practices.
• Product registration delays.
• Some raw materials have to be imported.

Opportunities

• Animal feed demand forecast to rise by 80% between 2006 and 2050.
• Increasing use of by-products and alternate feed sources could reduce input costs.
• Manufacture of feed using technological advances such as nutrigenomics and molecular probes will give a new level of precision to effective feed manufacturing and livestock production.
• Rising population and GDP locally and in Africa.

Threats

• Continued increases in raw material prices.
• Fewer local poultry industry players.
• Increasing move to grass-fed beef production.
• Increasing poultry imports from the EU, USA and Brazil.
• Regulatory requirements and processing delays for the informal sector.
• Rising unemployment and food inflation reducing growth in spending on pet care products.
• Smaller living space per household reducing pet ownership growth.

Outlook

By 2030 the world population is expected to have increased by more than another 1 billion people, which will require an additional 43% more food to be delivered with limited available additional arable land and shrinking farming area per capita. Locally, feed companies and on-farm mixers will require new, more resilient climate adaptable cultivars capable of generating higher yields to produce the feed required to meet growing food production requirements. Maize stocks are limited and expensive, maize imports are continuing and this situation will continue at least until the next harvest in the summer rainfall area in mid-2017 when an above-average maize crop is expected. Although local feed manufacturers have reported solid financial results despite the difficult operating environment, the approval process for genetically modified organisms and feed registrations and renewals are regulatory matters that are expected to continue impacting the domestic animal feed industry.

Introduction

This report focuses on the highly competitive animal feed industry, where 40% of national feed production is manufactured by companies in the informal sector who are not members of the Animal Feed Manufacturers’ Association (AFMA). National feed production is approximately 11.146 million tons with a gross value of an estimated R48bn. The pet food sub-sector has an estimated value of R5bn per annum at retail level.

Strengths

• The formal industry has strict quality control systems.
• There will be demand for animal feed as long as people eat animal protein.

Weaknesses

• Large informal manufacturing sector which does not adhere to formal standards and practices.
• Product registration delays.
• Some raw materials have to be imported.

Opportunities

• Increasing population and GDP locally and in Africa.
• Increasing use of by-products and alternate feed sources could reduce input costs.
• Manufacture of feed using technological advances such as nutrigenomics and molecular probes will give a new level of precision to effective feed manufacturing and livestock production.
• Pet humanisation is driving the growing pet food market.

Threats

• Continued increases in raw material prices.
• Increasing poultry imports from Europe and the failure of the local poultry industry.

Outlook

As far as raw materials are concerned, maize stocks are expected to be “tight” in the first half of 2014 and imports of yellow maize will be necessary. However, imports of soya oilcake supply should decrease as local manufacture increases. According to De Wet Boshoff, Executive Director of AFMA, the approval of genetically modified organisms, and feed registrations and renewals are two major regulatory matters that will continue to impact on the feed industry.
