Manufacture of Vegetable and Animal Oils and Fat

South Africa’s oils and fats manufacturing sector is dominated by vegetable oils and fat, and sunflower oil is the most widely consumed vegetable oil in the country. South Africa is a net importer of edible oils, which include sunflower, soybean and palm oil as it does not produce enough to meet demand. South Africa produced an estimated 464,000 tons of oil from seeds in the 2019/20 marketing year to end-February 2020, and is forecast to produce 507,000 tons in the 2020/21 marketing year, when imported oilseed oil will account for about 65% of local consumption.

Growth Trends

Vegetable oil demand has increased by an average 3% per annum during the past ten years. In recent years, increasing health awareness and the banting diet, which advocates the consumption of monounsaturated fats such as olive oil and avocado oil, helped to boost demand for healthy edible oils such as olive oil. However, the majority of South Africans are less concerned with health benefits and continue to buy affordable products. Consumers are under severe economic pressure and remain loyal to relatively affordable sunflower oil. Margarine continues to be more popular and a cheaper alternative to butter. In May 2020, Stats SA published data highlighting the price changes for essential goods during lockdown which showed the largest cumulative price increases were recorded in milk, eggs, and cheese as well as oils and fats.

Report Coverage

This report examines the major activities of the sector, the size and state of the industry and how the increase in processing capacity has shaped industry trends. Also discussed are the health and environmental concerns as well as the challenges brought about by the drought, competition issues, land expropriation and international trade conflict.

Manufacture of Vegetable and Animal Oils and Fat

The sector, which is dominated by vegetable oils and fats, is increasing production but remains a net importer. The country imported about 930,000 tons of vegetable and oilseed oil in the 2016/17 season including palm oil, soybean oil and sunflower oil, which accounted for 80% of local consumption as production of sunflower, soybeans, canola and groundnuts does not produce sufficient quantities to meet demand. Soybean production is expected to increase by 5% to 1,4 million tons in the 2017/18 marketing year, mainly due to an increase of 35% in area planted. Sunflower seed production is estimated to decrease by 16% to 731,505 tons. While area planted increased 8%, the sector experienced lower yields due to the drought. Forecasts indicate South Africa’s soybean and oilcake (meal) imports could decline by 27% and 17% year-on-year in the 2018/19 marketing year due to increased harvests.

Support and Investment

The manufacture of oils and fats from vegetables and animals is part of South Africa's agro-processing sector which has grown at over 2% per annum since 2013 and is identified as a catalyst for inclusive growth due to its ability to create more jobs than the primary agricultural sector. As a result, it has attracted high levels of support and investment, reflected in increased planted areas and processing capacity. Seed prices, however, remain under pressure, with most recent available figures showing marginal declines in the prices of sunflower seeds and marginal increases in the price of soybeans. The drought in has affected the edible oils sector. With almost 98% of the canola crop grown in the Western Cape, production declined in the 2017/2018 production season.

Report Coverage

This report examines the major activities of the sector, the size and state of the industry and how the increase in soybean processing capacity has shaped industry trends. Also discussed are the health and environmental concerns associated with vegetable oils and fats. The report profiles 15 companies, including market leaders Unilever South Africa (Pty) Ltd and DH Brothers Industries (Pty) Ltd t/a Willowton Group.

Manufacture of Vegetable and Animal Oils and Fat

The value of sales of locally manufactured oils and fats derived from vegetables and animals amounted to R11.6bn in 2015. Of the approximately 1 million tons of soybeans, 664,000 tons of sunflower seeds, 100,000 tons of canola, and 60,000 tons of peanuts produced in 2015, more than 95% was processed into oils and fats. The sector employs some 15,000 people in processing, manufacturing and trading activities and supports thousands more oilseed farmers and farm labourers.

Support and Investment

The manufacture of oils and fats from vegetables and animals is part of South Africa's agro-processing sector which has enjoyed an average growth rate of over 2% since 2013, outstripping that of total manufacturing. It has been identified as a vital area for inclusive growth due to its ability to create more jobs than the primary agricultural sector and has received high levels of support and investment. The development and expansion of plants and refineries has resulted in a substantial increase in the sector's oilseed crushing capacity. In 2012, the industry's total oilseed crushing and processing capacity stood at 600,000 tons per annum; in 2016 the crushing capacity of soybeans alone reached 2.2 million tons per annum. However, the severe drought in 2015 and 2016 has had an adverse effect on the edible oils sector. Both emerging data for 2016/2017 and market forecasts suggest that the industry will suffer decreased production in the short-term, particularly in the soybean and groundnut segments.
