Weak global demand for white maize could lead to lower exports than previously predicted.
According to Agbiz’s, Wandile Sihlobo, South Africa should export about 4 million tonnes of white maize.
However, current predictions are at 2.2 million tonnes, which will leave a large carry-over stock. Sihlobo says this is based on the National Crop Estimate Committee’s revised production estimate of almost 16 million tonnes.
