21 South African Fruit Sector Horticulture and Wine Effect of water shortages in a farming setup unique for every enterprise Collective approach to improve water productivity & management Competition for resources among fruit industries and enterprises Small enterprises in hectares, but ever increasing in value of output and ROI 21

22 Wine Grape Production Horticulture and Wine Million Vines Vines SA vineyards declined by 2% from 215 and 216 and 8.5% since 28. Total bearing vines projected to decrease by avg. 2.4% p.a. > 221 million vines by 226 Reduction slows over second half of outlook 22

24 Wine Market Balance Horticulture and Wine Fig. 16, Page 14 Volume: Million litres Decline in wine production reduced wine grape production Rebalancing of supply & demand in market Domestic consumption reduces -> weak consumer spending power & higher prices Export volumes decline -> lower production & higher domestic prices Domestic wine consumption Drinking wine production Total wine exports Opportunity to rebase 24

28 South African Wine Industry Horticulture and Wine Come a long way towards strategic targets set as part of WISE -> must sustain momentum to become value driven Production volumes expected to decline, supporting prices going forward Will continue to face competition for land and water from other horticultural industries Domestic consumption under pressure due to limited spending power & higher prices -> segmentation & opportunities in wine tourism Export volumes expected to decline -> opportunity to target higher value products & markets 28

36 Key messages Grains, Oilseeds and Potatoes Major recovery in grain and oilseed production following the drought, but cash flow remains under pressure. Drop in maize prices brings major relief to the food inflation on the staple food basket Gradual shift to feed grains and oilseeds Higher and sustainable crop yields critical to remain competitive 36

42 Dairy Product Prices Livestock and Dairy Rand per Kg Nominal Rand per Kg Real (21) Cheese consumer price Butter consumer price SMP consumer price WMP consumer price 42

43 Key points: Meat and Dairy Livestock and Dairy Consumer under pressure - domestic demand growth expected to slow, especially in short term Commodity cycle has turned in favour of livestock production provided weather conditions play along Livestock sectors have long value chains with a large footprint commercial and small scale, but prolonged recovery from drought Significant expansion potential particularly informal market Disease control is vital to sustain beef export markets & protect domestic producers (eg. HPAI outbreak 217) Ongoing drought in Western Cape concern particularly to dairy, where more than 25% of production from Western Cape 43

44 In summary SA has caught up with global commodity cycles. Lower food price inflation but margins under pressure Recovery from the drought will take a few years Lower feed prices offer opportunity for intensive livestock operations to recover Water availability & efficient use make or break for highvalue crops Rural economies are growing but financing and investment in infrastructure required Land reform only small pockets of success and a long way ahead 44
