Westelike streke van die land
Terwyl Tabel 2 geraamde produksiekoste vir die Noordwes Provinsie
en Noordwes-Sentrale Vrystaat toon, illustreer
Grafiek 6
(op bladsy 106)
die bruto en netto margesituasie. Volgens die berekeninge het mielies in
die Noordwes-Sentrale Vrystaat op hoër opbrengspotensiaalgronde die
beste bruto marge vir die komende produksieseisoen, gevolg deur soja-
bone. Wanneer die fokus uitsluitlik op mielies val, is dit duidelik dat wins-
gewende mielieproduksie onder druk verkeer – veral wanneer mielies op
laer-as-gemiddelde en gemiddelde opbrengspotensiaalgronde geplant
word. Die hoofklem is dat mielies, gegewe hierdie koste (veranderlike en
vaste koste), nie winsgewend op marginale opbrengspotensiaalgronde
geproduseer kan word nie. Die winsgewendheid van mielies is beslis
’n ander kwessie wanneer mielies in topproduksiegebiede en op hoër
potensiaalgronde geplant word.
Western regions of the country
While Table 2 shows estimated production costs for the North
West Province and North West Central Free State,
Graph 6
(on
page 106) illustrates the gross and net margin situation. According
to the calculations, maize in the North West Central Free State on
higher yield potential soils has the best gross margin for the coming
production season, followed by soybeans. When solely focusing on
maize, it is clear that profitable maize production is under strain
– specifically when maize is planted on below average and average
yield potential soil. The main emphasis is that maize, given these costs
(variable and fixed cost), cannot be produced profitably on marginal
yield potential soils. Maize profitability is definitely another matter when
maize is planted in top production areas and higher potential soils.
