Agricultural Produce Import Industry in South Africa
Global opportunities are opening up for South African vegetable producers and exporters with the emergence of new markets in some Asian and African countries. This is due to an increase in middle-income earners, says Ezra Steenkamp, deputy director of international trade research at the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. As a result of rapid globalisation, a rise in the middle class that drives purchasing power, growth in youth populations, processed food becoming popular, and an increase in consumption, more and more local vegetables are being exported to Asia, the Middle East and some cities in Africa. With this trend, world markets have become more and more dependable on production areas with accessible water and irrigation systems; these include South Africa and certain other African countries.
Inelasticity of demand in the South African market due to its limited size means that vegetable prices can easily become depressed when there is an oversupply. Therefore, for the local industry to grow, export markets must expand.
We have the whole of Africa in Mind
Interviews with role players and a review of trade statistics suggest that the Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries are the largest recipients of local vegetable export products. This is primarily because they have retail outlets. Fresh produce gives formal retail outlets a competitive edge as they bring regular customers to centralised stores. The expansion of South Africa’s retail chains such as Shoprite, Pick n Pay, Spar and Woolworths play an important role in the cross-border trade of vegetables and fresh produce in general, and growing consumer spending is followed by investment growth in the formal retail sector of these markets.
In many African countries, spending by the middle class is expected to remain stagnant, but early evidence suggests strong growth in spending by the lower middle class. This will provide a basis for selling basic products such as starches, beer and vegetables. Strategies for trade in Africa still aim at low-income consumers over the next five years; many South African retailers would benefit from positioning themselves for growth in the formal retail sector in Africa.
We Bridge the gap of finding and securing markets
In contrast to fresh produce markets that have spot sales, most formal retailers source their products through direct contracts with farmers, and so ensure quality and traceability. However, the role of agent-based fresh produce markets remains as a market-clearing and price-finding mechanism.
Many informal traders also export to neighbouring countries via purchases at South African fresh produce markets. With fresh produce markets mostly absent in Africa, South African market agents have a role to play in facilitating trade
