negative impact on yields. In the case of sunflower production in the
North West Province, the profitability situation looks relatively promising
when for example compared to maize.
According to the calculations maize profitability appears to be better
when for example compared to last year. Last year when the maize
budgets where compiled a Safex price of R2 300/ton was used
compared to the current Safex July 2020 price trading at R2 700/ton.
EASTERN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
Table 8
sets out the production costs for the eastern parts of the
country (Eastern Free State and Eastern Highveld). The production
costs of maize, sunflower and soybeans with different yield targets are
compared for the Eastern Free State while only maize and soybeans
are compared in the Eastern Highveld. According to the production
opbrengste gehad het. In die geval van sonneblomproduksie in Noord-
wes lyk die winsgewendheidsituasie relatief belowend wanneer dit
byvoorbeeld met mielies vergelyk word.
Volgens die berekenings lyk dit asof mielies se winsgewendheid
beter is wanneer dit byvoorbeeld met verlede jaar s’n vergelyk word.
Toe die mieliebegrotings verlede jaar saamgestel is, is ’n Safex-prys
van R2 300/ton gebruik, vergeleke met die huidige Safex-prys van
Julie 2020, wat teen R2 700/ton verhandel.
