  • Does South Africa export soybean oilcake?
  • South Africa is a small player given the soybean oilcake export market. In the past five years the industry has exported an average of 39 443 tons of oilcake. All exports were destined for the African markets, mainly Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho and Angola. South Africa also imports significant volumes of soybean oil.
  • How has South African soybean production changed over the year 2011?
  • Table 2 below shows the annual soybean harvest in South Africa, the value of the crop and the producer prices since the year 2011. Generally, the table indicates that the South African soybean producer prices had shown relatively stable shifts above R3500/ton over the season.
  • 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.
