Trade in Agricultural Raw Materials and Livestock in South Africa

Favourable weather and record crop production resulted in growth in wholesale trade in agricultural raw materials and livestock in 2021 and record exports of agricultural products, food and beverages. In 2021 South Africa’s biggest agricultural raw exports were citrus fruit, grapes, maize, deciduous fruit, fish and nuts.

Prices

Key agricultural commodities have recorded significant price increases in recent months, driven by drought in some producing countries and rising demand for grains and oilseeds in India and China. The Ukraine war has put upward price pressure on key commodities such as wheat, maize and sunflower seeds, while stoking fear that it could led to prices of agricultural exports to Russia (such as fruit) falling because of difficulties accessing the market. Russia and Ukraine account for about 60% of sunflower oil exports and 28% of wheat and 19% of maize exports.

Key challenges

Producers are under pressure from significant prices increases in inputs such as fertiliser and fuel, compounded by supply challenges caused by the Russia-Ukraine war. Other major challenges that affect agricultural sales include lack of traceability, lack of market access to key export markets, poor logistics and ailing municipal services. Despite South Africa being the second biggest citrus exporter in the world after Spain, citrus exporters are battling to get market access. The sugar sector is struggling to compete against countries whose sugar industries are highly subsidised.

Report Coverage

The Trade in Agricultural Raw Materials and Livestock report discusses the wholesale trade in agricultural raw materials and livestock, which represent essential building blocks for most human and animal food, and human beverages. It includes comprehensive information on the value chain of various commodities from wheat to seeds, cotton, fish, poultry, game and flowers. There are profiles of 33 companies including South African subsidiaries of multinationals such as Monsanto, and local companies such as Afgri, whose acquisition of the South African Bank of Athens will increase its financial services penetration in the small business and agrifood sectors and co-operative NWK, in which Grindrod subsidiary Grindrod Trading sold its share.

Trade in Agricultural Raw Materials and Livestock

Food production needs to perpetually scale to satisfy growing demand and population growth as global per capita consumption of food is now increasing faster than population growth. Total agricultural commodity trade by value has increased by 5% annually over the 20 years to 2018 due to increasing trade by developing countries. The traditional bulk commodities market is growing slowly relative to intermediate and consumer products in the agrifood sector as major industry players increasingly assume ownership of all links in the value chain. Of some 35 of the most significant agricultural raw materials on the World Bank Commodity Price Data “pink sheet”, only ten have prices which are higher in nominal and real US dollar terms than they were in 2010.

Agricultural Development and Consolidation

Agricultural value chains are undergoing increasing integration and consolidation through acquisitions, mergers and joint ventures. There is also concentration in input, production, trading, processing, and retail, with these links increasingly concentrated in major industry players. There is significant development in agricultural technologies such as big data, drones or technologies to better use fertilisers and pesticides.
