The relative value of malting barley
In 2009, a pricing mechanism was designed by the malting barley industry and since then the price of
malting barley was linked to the Safex wheat futures price. The price of malting barley in the Southern
Cape region is determined by converting the Safex wheat price by a factor of 1,02. For the Northern
Cape region, the factor is 0,92. However, production in the Northern Cape may be limited by the use of
a ratio of 0,92. After evaluating the factor of 0,92 it was concluded that the factor was adequate for use
in the Northern Cape region. The research study found that the producers earn substantially more from
the production of malting barley than from wheat. It was acknowledged that the production of malting
barley requires higher management skills and commitment to produce malting barley instead of wheat.
Die relatiewe waarde van moutgars
In 2009 is ‘n prysbepalingsmeganisme deur die moutgarsbedryf ontwerp en sedertdien was die prys van
moutgars aan die Safex-koringtermynkontrakteprys gekoppel. Die prys van moutgars in die Suid-Kaap-
streek word bepaal deur die Safex-koringprys met ‘n faktor van 1,02 om te reken. Vir die Noord-Kaap-
streek is die faktor 0,92. Produksie in die Noord-Kaap kan egter deur die gebruik van ‘n verhouding van
0,92 beperk word. Nadat die faktor van 0,92 geëvalueer is, is die gevolgtrekking gemaak dat die faktor
voldoende was vir gebruik in die Noord-Kaap-streek. Die navorsingstudie het bevind dat die produsente
aansienlik meer uit die produksie van moutgars as uit koring verdien. Daar is erken dat die produksie
van moutgars hoër bestuursvaardighede en toewyding as die produksie van koring vereis.
Grading regulations
Delivery of sunflower seed on a clean basis
The South African Cereals and Oilseeds Trading Association (SACOTA) requested the amendment
of the sunflower seed and soybean regulations by including mass determination in sunflower and
soybean regulations. There are differences among silo owners regarding the out loading of sunflower
seeds and soybeans as far as foreign matter, screenings and Sclerotinia are concerned, especially
when buyers take delivery of these commodities on Safex. As such, Safex has proposed that all
delivery of the two commodities (sunflower seeds and soybeans) to the JSE should be standardised.
Grain SA objected to the inclusion of mass determination as part of the regulations as producers in
some regions deliver their commodities on a dirty basis and are remunerated as such. Secondly,
during dry seasons smaller crushing seeds that pass through the 8 mm sieve can make up to 8%
of the total mass and such is a great benefit to producers. The DAFF published the amendment on
the basis that the motivations from Grain SA are an exception not a norm and as such, the standard
practice of the majority should be taken into account. Should such an exception happen, those
affected may apply for a dispensation from the government.
Graderingsregulasies
Lewering van skoon sonneblomsaad
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Graan- en Oliesadeverhandelsvereniging (SACOTA) het versoek dat die
sonneblomsaad- en sojaboonregulasies gewysig moet word deur massabepaling daarby te voeg. Silo-
eienaars verskil oor die uitlaai van sonneblomsaad en sojabone sover dit vreemde materiaal, sifting en
Sclerotinia betref, veral wanneer kopers die lewering van hierdie kommoditeite op Safex hanteer. Safex
het gevolglik voorgestel dat alle lewering van die twee kommoditeite (sonneblomsaad en sojabone)
aan die JSE gestandaardiseer moet word. Graan SA het beswaar gemaak teen die insluiting van ‘n
massabepaling as deel van die regulasies, aangesien produsente in sommige streke hulle kommoditeite
op ‘n vuil grondslag lewer en as sodanig vergoed word. Tweedens kan kleiner gebreekte sade wat
tydens droë seisoene deur die 8 mm-sif beweeg tot 8% van die totale massa uitmaak en dit is ‘n groot
voordeel vir produsente. Die DAFF het die wysiging gepubliseer op grond daarvan dat die motiverings
van Graan SA ‘n uitsondering en nie die norm is nie en dat die standaardpraktyk van die meerderheid
in aanmerking geneem moet word. Indien so ‘n uitsondering voorkom, kan diegene wat geraak word, by
die regering om vrystelling aansoek doen.
