South Africa: Oilseeds and Products Annual

FAS/Pretoria's Oilseeds and Products annual report provides information on the production, supply, and distribution for soybean, sunflowerseed, and rapeseed in South Africa for marketing year (MY) 2023/24, MY 2024/25, and MY 2025/26. Stable local demand for oilseed crushing and anticipated export opportunities should motivate producers to maintain level oilseed area in MY 2025/26. Despite major investments to expand oilseed processing capabilities in recent years, local production has exceeded crushing capacity, increasingly shifting excess oilseeds to export markets. MY 2025/26 consumption for oilseed meals and oils are expected to grow marginally, as South Africa's economic challenges depress demand.
