  • 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.
  • 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.
  • How much soybean oil does South Africa need?
  • According to Opperman and Varia (2011), in 2010, South Africans demand for soybean oil was at 1.3 million tons, followed by other countries such as Mozambique and Zambia, with 0.2 million tons demand each for soybean oil in the same year.
  • Why is soybean consumption growing in South Africa?
  • The interest in soybean products has been recently growing in South Africa because of the health benefits associated with these products. Soybean consumption in the country is estimated at 67.8% for oil and oilcake, 15.29% for animal feed (especially in the broiler and egg industries) and 2.67% for human consumption.
