  • How many tons of soybeans are produced in South Africa?
  • The bulk of South Africa’s soybean production is processed into oil and oil cake, with 1 047 603 tons being processed during the 2019/2020 season in comparison with 867 272 tons during the 2018/2019, when production was in some of the major soybean production regions because of drought conditions.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Why is South Africa a net exporter of soybeans?
  • South African soybean production has increased significantly over the past few years, turning the country from a net importer of soybeans in 2009 into a net exporter by 2014. The country, due to drought in the main production areas, had to import soybeans again during the 2018/2019 season.
