    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the manufacture of flour and grain mill products, including the milling of maize and wheat. It includes information on the state of the sector, trade statistics and influencing factors including food prices and land reform. There are profiles of 18 companies in the sector including the large players such as Tiger Brands and RCL Foods and millers including Vaal Milling Company and Gideon Milling.

    Manufacture of Flour and Grain Mill Products in South Africa

    The grain milling sector is an important role player in food security as its products are the primary ingredients of South Africa’s staple foods – maize meal and bread. At least 20% of South African households have inadequate or severely inadequate access to food due to poverty and unemployment. Climate change, growing population, high food costs and farm murders could pose challenges to food security. Maize meal is the most affordable staple food option. Cake flour and pasta were amongst the popular panic buying food items during lockdown due to their extended shelf life

    Production

    In its production forecast for maize on 26 November 2020, the Crop Estimates Committee forecast a harvest of 15.41 million tons in the 2020 season, compared to 11.27 million tons in 2019. Local maize prices are expected to increase in the short term due to the weaker rand, growing demand for South Africa’s maize in the Southern Africa region and the Far East and generally higher global grain prices.

    Imports and Exports

    South Africa produces most of its maize products locally but imports some sifted maize meal. About half of wheat for local consumption is imported. Exports of grain products are mainly to neighbouring countries. South Africa has increased exports of maize meal, wheat grain, and flour to Zimbabwe due to the easing of its phytosanitary restrictions (measures for the control of plant diseases especially in agricultural crops) and import duties.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the manufacture of flour and grain mill products, including the milling of maize and wheat. The report describes the state of the industry and the performance of the major players. There are profiles of 18 companies including the largest vertically-integrated maize and wheat milling companies, Premier, Tiger Brands, Pioneer and Pride and several other millers including Carolina, Godrich and VKB.

    Manufacture of Flour and Grain Mill Products

    The grain milling sector plays a vital role in food security as its products are the primary ingredients of South Africa’s staple foods, and the sector is a major determinant of the price of maize meal and bread. Pest infestation, droughts and other effects of climate change pose a threat to grain production and in the 2018/19 production season, most summer crop harvests fell due to dry weather conditions at the start of the season.

    Rising Costs

    The cost of food manufacturing is influenced by the price of raw commodities and by non-food inputs such electricity, labour, packaging material and fuel. Transport and logistics can account for almost 35% of the final cost of maize products, and almost all freight in South Africa is transported by road, which is 30% more costly than rail. Many farmers have had to buy more pesticides as the fall armyworm has caused significant damage to maize and potato crops in some areas. These factors have contributed to the cost of bread increasing above inflation in 2019.

    Wheat Imports

    About half of the flour used by the bread industry is milled from imported wheat. Imports increased due to the severe drought in 2017/18 in the Western Cape, which affected wheat production. The wheat industry has embarked on a revival strategy to encourage farmers to plant more wheat.

    Report Coverage

    The Manufacture of Flour and Grain Mill Products describes current conditions and the attempt by stakeholders to revive the South African wheat industry. Other factors that influence the success of the sector are covered, including the increase in the wheat tariff in April 2016 which resulted in wheat prices rising by approximately 6% and bread prices by 2.5%. Profiles for 22 companies are provided. These include Blinkwater Mills which was fined R10m by the competition Tribunal in March 2017 after it was found guilty of colluding with the ‘Big Four’ and other role players including Progress Milling, Godrich, Brenner Mills and Carolina Roller Mills, all profiled in the report.

    Manufacture of Flour and Grain Mill Products

    Despite the increase in the number of informal millers and micro mills throughout the country, the sector remains highly concentrated with 25 companies generating 75% of all maize milled. The leading four players, Pioneer, Premier Foods, Pride Milling and Tiger Brands, together mill approximately 75% of the maize meal produced in the country and dominate the wheat milling market with 97% market share.

    Challenging Times

    The grain milling sector, which plays a vital role with regard to food security through its influence on the price of the country’s staple foods, maize meal and bread, was severely affected by the El Nino-triggered drought, which caused the 2016 maize harvest to decline to 7.5 million tons. The recent trading environment in the sector was described as one of the most challenging ever experienced because of the need for increased maize imports, unpredictable foreign exchange markets, the resultant high input costs, decreasing disposable income and weak consumer confidence. Although Grain SA expects a maize surplus for the 2017/18 season, stakeholders are concerned about the current Fall Armyworm infestation that poses a threat to grain farmers, millers and producers of grain mill products.

    Report Coverage

    The Manufacture of Flour and Grain Mill Products discusses the milling industry in South Africa, highlighting current conditions and factors influencing the success of the sector. Eighteen industry players are profiled, ranging from the “Big Four” millers to SMME Bakhresa SA (Pty) Ltd, a mill situated in KwaZulu-Natal, which employs eight people and mills white and brown bread flour, cake flour and biscuit flour. Also profiled are Lethabo Milling, a new entrant that was only able to enter the competitive maize milling industry with assistance from Massmart in partnership with ABSA, and Gauteng-based African Star Grain and Milling (Pty) Ltd, which is due to start operating as a grain milling operator during 2016.

    The Manufacture of Flour and Grain Mill Products

    This report focuses on the grain industry, including the milling of maize and wheat, which accounts for an estimated 30% of the country's total gross agricultural production. The industry is highly concentrated and controlled by a handful of farmers, silo owners and manufacturers. Although approximately 290 informal mills operate countrywide, the milling sector is dominated by four large millers that produce 60% of the country’s maize meal. These millers, Pioneer Foods (Sasko Milling), Tiger Milling, Premier Foods and Ruto Mills, a division of Foodcorp also dominate the wheat milling market with 97% market share and are vertically integrated in baking and production of other foods such as pasta and cereals.

    Drought

    In an attempt to improve food security, address high basic food prices and increase competition in the milling sector, the Department of Trade and Industry (Dti) earmarked the small-scale milling industry as an Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP) priority intervention. Financial investments and support from Government programmes have helped this sector and approximately 290 informal mills operate throughout the country. However, the current drought in most parts of the country means there is a shortage of grain to be milled and maize imports of between 5 million and 6 million tons are expected.
