    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the tea and coffee industry in South Africa. It includes comprehensive information on the state of the tea and coffee sectors and the factors that influence them, including the effects of coronavirus which have been severe for coffee shops. There are profiles of 43 companies including major players such as Unilever, Nestlé and National Brands. Among tea companies are Joekels Tea Packers, which packs private label teas for major retailers as well as its own brand, and speciality tea producers Agulhas Honeybush and Zooka Health. Coffee companies profiled include Bean There and Vida e Caffè.

    The Tea and Coffee Industry

    South Africa is a net importer of tea and coffee and its tea production is in decline. The herbal tea sector, which includes rooibos, green tea and fruit/herbal tea, is growing due to growing interest in health and wellness. The increasing global demand for rooibos has seen exports increase from 6,000 tons in 2016 to 7,693 tons in 2019. Coffee consumption continues to increase, and the growing coffee culture has seen many entrepreneurs enter the sector. But the coronavirus pandemic has caused devastation for coffee shops and restaurants that are battling to survive as the country remains in lockdown.

    Herbal Teas Grow

    Production of black tea, the tea that is used in most major tea brands, has almost stopped in South Africa as most tea estates have ceased production, including the Ntingwe Tea Estate which has not harvested any tea nor generated income for the past three years despite government investment. Growing consumer interest in health and wellness continues to boost the demand for specialty teas, including fruit/herbal tea and green tea. Despite their higher than average prices, herbal and green tea recorded strong retail volume growth in 2019. Rooibos has retained its popularity and is exported to more than 60 countries, while Honeybush is exported to 25 countries.

    Report Coverage

    The South African Tea and Coffee Industry highlights current conditions and trends, provides information on imports and exports, and discusses the factors influencing the success of the sector. Profiles for 35 companies involved in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors of the industry are provided. Included is Chicory SA (Pty) Ltd, a company that supplies several coffee manufacturers with chicory, an important input to mixed ground and mixed instant coffees. Also profiled are Beaver Creek (Pty) Ltd, Assagay Coffee and Sabie Valley Coffee, three companies that farm the coffee plant, Coffea, and then roast, blend and distribute their coffee products.

    The South African Tea and Coffee Industry

    Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries statistics show that the value of black tea production has declined considerably from R30.14m eight years ago to R5.16m in the 2016/2017 season. In contrast to the black tea sector where only three black tea estates remain in production, the herbal tea sector has grown. The coffee sector has also grown, with consumption of coffee beans increasing from 29,760 tons in 2012/13 to 35,400 tons in 2015/16. Demand for premium coffees is illustrated by the growth in the number of coffee roasteries and coffee shops across the country; South Africa now has more than 100 roasteries compared to fewer than 20 roasteries ten years ago.

    A Thriving Rooibos Tea Sector

    The Rooibos sector provides income and employment to approximately 8,000 farm labourers and further employment is also created in downstream activities. Over the past ten years Rooibos production has been between 10,000 tons and 18,000 tons annually. As a result of increasing global demand for Rooibos, 2016 exports amounted to more than 6,000 tons. Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States are the biggest importers of Rooibos tea. Although only 200 tons of Honeybush tea is produced annually by ten growers, this tea is becoming more popular in overseas markets and more than 80% of the total crop is exported to 25 countries.

    Report Coverage

    The South African Tea and Coffee Industry highlights current conditions and discusses the factors influencing the success of the sector. Thirty-nine companies involved in the relevant agricultural, manufacturing, wholesale and retail sub-sectors are profiled. Companies include coffee manufacturer Nestlé South Africa, which dominates the coffee sector with 37% of the market by value. Also profiled are National Brands, Unilever and Joekels Tea Packers and Tea Blenders which dominate the tea packing sector with a combined market share of 96%. Profiles for popular retail outlets such as Vida E Caffe Holdings (Pty) Ltd t/a Vida Caffe and The Bubble Tea Company (Pty) Ltd are included in this report.

    The South African Tea and Coffee Industry

    This report focuses on the South African tea and coffee industry. South Africans consume more than 20,000 tons of coffee, 20 million kilograms of black tea and 7 million kilograms of Rooibos tea annually. The Rooibos industry contributes about R500m to national GDP and directly employs between 4,500 and 5,000 people. In the Honeybush sector approximately 180 metric tons of Honeybush tea is produced, with 90% exported in bulk form, limiting the annual value of the crop to just over US$250,000. The retail value of the entire tea market is estimated at more than R2.1bn.

    Uneconomical Local Production

    Domestic black tea and coffee production have become uneconomical, mainly as a result of high labour costs. Black tea producers have been under severe financial difficulties since 2000 and in the beginning of 2003 most of the tea estates in the country went out of production. The six tea estates that remain are struggling to survive and only remain operational because they receive funding from the state. In the coffee sector, most of the 20,000 tons of coffee consumed comes from imported coffee beans. The few coffee farms that still function have managed to survive by establishing roasteries and catering to the tourism market.

    Extract

    South Africa's high labour costs, increasing input costs and higher electricity tariffs continue to negatively affect the tea and raw coffee bean sector...

    Description

    This report focuses on the tea and coffee industry in South Africa. More than 20,000 tons of coffee is consumed in South Africa per annum but with only three coffee farms left in the country, it is imported coffee that continues to dominate the local market.
