South Africa: Grain and Feed Update

South Africa's corn production outlook for marketing year 2025/26 remains positive, supported by favorable La Niña weather conditions that brought normal to above-normal rainfall during the planting period. Following a strong harvest in the previous season, the third largest on record, the domestic market is experiencing oversupply conditions, resulting in significantly lower corn prices. Exports are expected to rise on the back of robust production, while imports are not anticipated due to ample domestic supply. Domestic consumption is projected to show only marginal growth amid ongoing economic headwinds, and ending stocks are expected to remain sufficient to meet commercial utilization requirements.
