Supply & demand of wheat in South Africa (‘000 tons)

Local Wheat Drivers
Limited small crop – 1,870 million tons (need to import 43% of requirement) = import
parity driven, new season local crop even smaller, need more imports to balance
supply.
Concern on plentiful world stocks is quality of wheat and low percentage of milling
versus feed wheat.
Possible implementation of wheat tariff depending on US HRW wheat prices.
Current pace of imports on track with requirements.
Quality of actual wheat imports into South Africa.
