Introduction
South African is the biggest producer of animal feed on the continent and the animal feed industry is the biggest consumer of grain products in South Africa. In 2019, agriculture contributed 1.88% to GDP. The Animal Feed Manufacturers Association (AFMA) reports a 0.3% per year increase in feed volumes in South Africa, and in the 2019/20 production year, total animal feed sales of its members amounted to 6.72 million tons (Mt) – 57.5% of South Africa’s feed production of 12Mt. The value of imported animal feed products and related raw materials remained steady at R5.5bn in 2019 compared to 2018. Exports declined by 12% to R4.3bn in 2019 from R4.9bn in 2018. South Africa’s pet food production was 315,000 tons valued at R5.9bn in 2019. The coronavirus pandemic, which followed fresh outbreaks of African swine fever in China, affected the global animal feed industry, and in South Africa new outbreaks of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in early 2020 affected the beef export industry, resulting in reduced demand for animal feed.
Strengths
• The formal industry has strict quality control systems.
• There will be demand for animal feed as long as people eat animal protein.
• Well-established agricultural financial markets.
Weaknesses
• Delays in product registration.
• Increasing dependence on imported inputs.
• Large informal manufacturing sector which does not adhere to formal standards and practices.
• Low investment in research and development.
• Poor agricultural support, policy uncertainty and a regulatory environment that applies only to the formal sector.
Opportunities
• As global populations continue to grow so does the demand for animal feed.
• Increasing use of by-products and alternate feed sources could reduce input costs.
• Lessons learnt during the pandemic could lead to greater innovation.
• Manufacture of feed using technological advances will provide more precise and effective feed.
• Opportunities for production of feed ingredients for niche products.
• Rise in pet ownership in Africa.
Threats
• Climate change and increased natural disasters and increased awareness of impact of meat production on the environment and changes in food choices.
• Continued raw material volatility and price increases in input costs.
• Economic crisis from the pandemic poses a threat to food production with a slowdown in the food supply chain, and reduced consumer disposable income.
• Impact of African swine fever and foot and mouth disease.
• Increasing low-cost poultry imports.
• Pandemic will lead to a drive for more efficient and cost-effective animal feed production.
• Regulatory requirements and processing delays.
• Unreliable electricity and water supply.
Outlook
The animal feed industry will be focused on sustainability with research and development focused on feed production using fewer resources in order to reduce greenhouse gas, carbon footprint and water consumption impacts. Chicken meat production is expected to increase but the industry remains affected by cheap, imported poultry meat. The benefits of consuming seafood have positioned aquaculture as a growth opportunity. Despite a dire economic outlook and the pandemic, there are indications that animal feed consumption in the animal feed industry in South Africa will increase by an average of 2.54% annually to 14.63Mt by 2022. Animal feed industry stakeholders believe the lessons learnt during the pandemic can transform into a more efficient industry and supply chains. Smaller producers, however, indicated they are surviving month by month.
