Production costs
Grain SA trusts that this additional information will improve the transparency of the crop estimate
and increase trust in the crop estimate process.
Produksiekoste
Graan SA vertrou dat hierdie bykomende inligting die deursigtigheid van die oesskatting sal
verbeter en vertroue in die oesskattingsproses sal versterk.
Physical income and cost analysis
Summer grain
The actual total production cost is the summary of the actual happenings in the input environment. Input
prices are normally determined by the free market and cannot be changed by a single producer. Improved
efficiency and purchase management is the tool to manage the input cost price upswings. Improved
efficiency can only be achieved on farm level, but purchase management needs real time information.
Graphs 12 to 15 show the actual production cost, yields and profit/loss situation for maize of the North
West Province, Eastern Free State, North West Free State and KwaZulu-Natal since 2000/2001. The
actual production cost figures for the 2012/2013 production season were not available during the time that
this document was written. It is clear that production cost is increasing over time. The total production cost
per hectare for the different production areas did not increase that dramatically between the 2001/2002
and 2005/2006 production years, it stayed relatively stable. Since the 2006/2007 production year, total
production cost has increased year after year and producers are not in the position to pass these cost
increases to the consumer and therefore the reduction in profits per hectare is evident.
The graphs indicate that it was a relatively good production year for grain producers in the North West
Province, North West Free State and KwaZulu-Natal during the 2011/2012 production season, while
the Eastern Free State producers indicated a loss. Although the yields in the North West Province were
lower than the previous year, a small profit was still realised. The main reason for the loss in the Eastern
Free State can be ascribed to high total production cost together with below average yields.
Fisiese inkomste- en koste-analise
Somergraan
Die werklike totale produksiekoste gee die werklike gebeurtenisse in die insetomgewing deur.
Insetpryse word normaalweg deur die vrye mark bepaal en kan nie deur ‘n enkele produsent verander
word nie. Beter doeltreffendheid en aankopebestuur is die instrument om prysstygings van insette te
bestuur. Doeltreffendheid kan slegs op plaasvlak bereik word, maar tydige inligting is noodsaaklik om
aankope te kan bestuur.
Grafiek 12 tot 15 toon die werklike produksiekoste, opbrengste en wins/verlies-situasie vir mielies van
die Noordwes Provinsie, die Oos-Vrystaat, Noordwes-Vrystaat en KwaZulu-Natal sedert 2000/2001. Die
werklike produksiekostesyfers vir die 2012/2013-produksieseisoen was nie beskikbaar toe hierdie dokument
saamgestel is nie. Dit is duidelik dat produksiekoste met verloop van tyd styg. Die totale produksiekoste
per hektaar vir die verskillende produksie-areas het nie tussen die 2001/2002- en 2005/2006-produksiejaar
dramaties gestyg nie, maar het relatief stabiel gebly. Sedert die 2006/2007-produksiejaar het die totale
produksiekoste jaar na jaar gestyg en produsente is nie in ‘n posisie om hierdie kostestygings aan die
verbruiker deur te gee nie. Die verlaging in winste per hektaar is duidelik sigbaar in die grafieke.
Die grafieke dui aan dat die 2011/2012-produksieseisoen ‘n relatiewe goeie jaar vir graanprodusente in
die Noordwes Provinsie, die Noordwes-Vrystaat en KwaZulu-Natal was. Produsente in die Oos-Vrystaat
het egter ‘n verlies gemaak. Hoewel die opbrengste in die Noordwes Provinsie laer as in die vorige jaar
is, is ‘n klein wins steeds behaal. Die vernaamste rede vir die verlies in die Oos-Vrystaat kan aan hoë
totale produksiekoste tesame met ondergemiddelde opbrengste toegeskryf word.
