  • Does South Africa still import soybean oil?
  • Despite the increasing levels of soybean production, South Africa still imports considerable volumes of soybean oilcake and oil, and there is still considerable scope for production increases in order to substitute these imports. In fact, South Africa¡¯s domestic soybean production is only a third of the country¡¯s crushing capacity.

All exports were destined for the African markets, mainly Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho and Angola. South Africa also imports significant volumes of soybean oil.
