ANNUAL MEETING WITH SAAMA

In 2019, Grain SA again met with the South African Agricultural Machinery

Association (SAAMA) to discuss mutual challenges in the grain and oil-

seed industries. Important issues discussed were the following:

Market trends and production costs for the grain and oilseed industry.

Trends in the international and local agricultural machinery industry.

Logistics of agricultural machinery that cannot be licenced.

Import rebate on tractor tyres.

Precision support.

Diesel fuel quality.

Technology platforms.

Grey imports.

PRODUCTION COST OVERVIEW

Actual production cost

Grain SA collected/bought data and information during December

2018 and January 2019 to determine the major maize production

area’s actual income and production costs for the 2017/2018

production season. Determining and gathering the historic actual

income and production cost figures is important to the industry

as it identifies the actual figures paid for different items and the

profitability of a crop.

to

depict the long-term actual production cost, yields

and profit/loss situation of the North West Province, North Western

Free State, Eastern Free State and KwaZulu-Natal since 2000/2001.

The figures clearly show that production costs are constantly

increasing over time. These increases on a year-on-year basis are

fairly high and have a huge impact on producers to adapt and make

adjustments with their current production systems in order to plant

maize profitably.

Graph 12

clearly depicts that the North West Province experienced

very trying production conditions as poor yields were achieved

during the 2012/2013, 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 seasons. This

region in general experienced very cumbersome conditions putting

pressure on profitable maize production. Better yields were obtained

JAARLIKSE VERGADERING MET SALMA

Graan SA het in 2019 weer met die SA Landboumasjinerieassosiasie

(SALMA) vergader om gemeenskaplike uitdagings in die graan- en

oliesadebedryf te bespreek. Belangrike kwessies wat bespreek is, was

die volgende:

Marktendense en produksiekoste vir die graan- en oliesadebedryf.

Tendense in die internasionale en plaaslike landboumasjineriebedryf.

Logistiek van landboumasjinerie wat nie gelisensieer kan word nie.

Invoerrabat op trekkerbande.

Presisie-ondersteuning.

Gehalte van diesel.

Tegnologieplatforms.

Grys invoere.

PRODUKSIEKOSTE-OORSIG

Werklike produksiekoste

Graan SA het in Desember 2018 en Januarie 2019 data en inligting in-

gesamel/gekoop om die werklike inkomste en produksiekoste van die

belangrikste mielieproduksiegebiede vir die 2017/2018-produksiesei-

soen te bepaal. Dit is vir die bedryf belangrik dat die historiese werklike

inkomste en produksiekostesyfers bepaal en ingesamel word, aange-

sien dit ’n aanduiding gee van die werklike koste van verskillende items

en die winsgewendheid van ’n gewas.

beeld die langtermyn- werklike produksiekoste,

opbrengs en wins/verlies-situasie vir Noordwes, die Noordwes-Vrystaat,

Oos-Vrystaat en KwaZulu-Natal sedert 2000/2001 uit. Dit is duidelik dat

produksiekoste met verloop van tyd voortdurend styg. Hierdie stygings

op ’n jaar-tot-jaar-grondslag is redelik hoog en het ’n geweldige impak

op produsente se vermoë om hulle huidige produksiestelsels aan te pas

en te wysig om mielies winsgewend te plant.

Grafiek 12

toon duidelik dat Noordwes baie moeilike produksietoe-

stande ervaar het, aangesien swak opbrengste gedurende die

2012/2013-, 2014/2015- en 2015/2016-seisoen behaal is. Hierdie

streek het oor die algemeen baie moeilike toestande ervaar, wat druk

op winsgewende mielieproduksie geplaas het. Beter opbrengste is die
