1. DESCRIPTION OF THE INDUSTRY

The contribution of milk production in South Africa makes approximately 0.5% to the world milk production. There are four major dairy breeds in South Africa namely, Holstein, Jersey, Guernsey and Ayrshire. The industry comprises of number of different economic activities and significant differences exist between farming methods and processing of dairy products. These activities involve the production and marketing of raw milk, pasteurized milk and cream, fermented milk, long-life milk and cream, yoghurt, cheese and its by-product whey, milk powder, sweetened and unsweetened concentrated milk, butter and butter oil (ghee).

The gross value of production for milk is dependent on the quantity produced and prices received by producers. Figure 1 indicates that the gross value of fresh milk has been moving at an increasing rate and reached its peak of R 9.2 million during 2007/08 and decreased by 1.3% in 2011/12. In contrast there is an exponential increase of 144% during 2011/12 relative 2002/03. The average gross value of milk produced amounted to R 6.5 million for the past ten years.

1.1. Milk production areas

The coastal areas are more suitable areas for milk production because of mild temperatures as well as good rainfall ensuring good quality natural and artificial pastures. The inland production areas are generally climatically less favourable for milk production. Dairy farming in these areas necessitate intensive and high cost feedlot production systems. Figure 2 shows percentage contribution of provinces to milk production in South Africa in 2012.

Western Cape contributed 27% of the total milk produced in South Africa followed by Eastern Cape which took up 24%, KwaZulu–Natal took 23%; Free State contributed 10%; Gauteng 6%; Mpumalanga and North West contributed 3% each, Northern Cape and Limpopo provinces shared the 2%

1.2. Production trends

Over the past ten years the number of milk production and dairy cows has been fluctuating throughout the period under review. The number of cows and milk production increased by 99% and 17% respectively. The fluctuations might be due to the uncertainty of the milk industry namely the outbreak of Rift Valley Fever (RVF) in 2010, unfavourable weather conditions and high input costs.

1.3. Employment

The South African dairy industry is important to the job market with over 2 474 milk producers employing 60 000 farm workers and providing 40 000 people with indirect jobs within the value chain like milk processing and milling industry.

2. MARKET STRUCTURE

The South African dairy market is divided into 60% liquid and 40% concentrated products. Pasteurized liquid milk and UHT milk are the major liquid products, while hard and semi cheese is the major concentrated product. Different types in each category are shown in Figure 4 and 5.

2.1. DOMESTIC MARKET AND PRICES

Local milk consumption and prices is illustrated in Figure 6.

Source: Statistics and Economic Analysis, DAFF

Figure 6 indicates that milk price started low and stagnant from 2002/03 to 2006/06 then started moving at an increasing rate from 2007/08 to 2011/12. During the period 2004/05 – 2005/06 milk price experienced a drastic decline in prices as processors were positioning themselves for an expected increase in production but this led to a no growth in production that force processors to review their pricing. There is an increase of R1.20/ℓ in 2011/12 compared to 2002/03. Consumption of milk has been moving at an increasing trend throughout the period under review and reached the new peak of 2 million kilograms in 2011/12. There was an increase of 26% over the previous decade. The demand of milk and dairy products are expected to grow at a rate of $% per annum.

2.2. EXPORT AND IMPORT OF DAIRY PRODUCTS

The most important producer of milk internationally are Asia, European Union (EU) and North and Central America. Milk production in South Africa makes a very small contribution (0.5%) to the

world production but in terms of the values of agricultural production in South Africa, it is the sixth largest agricultural industry in the world. Milk is produced much more cheaply in New Zealand and certain parts of the world than in South Africa. Imported milk from the EU and US is cheaper than in South Africa because of subsidies in these countries. Dairy companies in those countries are paid a guaranteed floor price for designated quantities of dairy products. Dairy companies in both countries are given a subsidy to bridge the gap between the supported domestic price and world market price. In the EU dairy farmers are paid subsidies for the use of certain inputs. The annual imports and exports of dairy products from 2003 to 2012 are shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8 showed that South Africa became a net exporter of milk and dairy products during the periods 2004, 2008, 2009 and 2011 and became a net importer during 2003, 2005 to 2007, 2010 and 2012. The increase in exports in 2008, 2009 and 2011 was due to the attractive international price of milk which encouraged more exports.

2.2. EXPORTS

The dairy industry is also an important earner of foreign exchange. In 2012 only, exports of dairy products amounted to 53 million kilograms valued at over R 769 million. There was a significant increase of 130% in quantity and 176% in value of milk and dairy products exported to the world in 2012 compared to 2003. Figure 9 below shows the exports of dairy products from 2003 to 2012.

From Figure 9, exports quantity fluctuated throughout the period under analysis. Exports of milk and dairy products experienced the lowest exports during the periods 2003 to 2007 before increasing substantially in 2008 and fluctuated at an increasing trend during the following years. The decrease experienced in 2010 was due to the low production in the local market. Both quantity and value almost followed the same trend throughout the period under analysis.

Figure 11 shows that milk and cream (not concentrated nor sweetened) dominated the export market of milk and dairy products and commanded the highest shares from 2003 to 2012. Milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened) commanded the second highest level during the periods 2003 to 2005 and again during 2007 to 2010. Buttermilk commanded the second greatest shares during 2011 to 2012. Butter, other fats and oils commanded the lowest quantities exported during the past decade.

Figure 13 illustrates that Gauteng province played a major role in the exports of milk and dairy products from 2003 to 2012 with the new peak value of R 500 million in 2011. This may be due to the fact that Gauteng is the main exit point to the SADC region as most of these exports were destined to SADC region. Western Cape Province commanded the second level of milk and dairy products exports throughout the period under review. Averagely Gauteng commanded R 250 million followed by followed by Western Cape by R84 million , then Mpumalanga and Kwazulu-Natal provinces which commanded R17 million and R12 million respectively. The lowest value of milk and dairy products were recorded in Free State and Northern Cape provinces with R2 million and R128 000 respectively. Northern Cape recorded fractional exports in 2005 and 2012 only.

Northern Cape Province has not been recording any exports except in 2005 and in 2012. Siyanda district was the only district in Northern Cape which exported milk and dairy products and again in 2012 together with Namakwa and Frances Baard district municipalities. Frances Baard district municipality commanded the highest value during 2012.

Table 1 show that Gauteng province commands the greatest share of South African milk and dairy products’ exports followed by Western Cape province. This is in spite of the fact that Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces are the major milk producing provinces. This may be due to the fact that Gauteng and Western Cape provinces are the exit points for milk and dairy products to the SADC regions. Eastern Cape, KwaZulu–Natal, Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces reported regular exports of milk and dairy products. Northern Cape, North West and Free State provinces recorded intermittent export shares of milk and dairy products. Northern Cape province received a share of less than a percent in 2005 and 1 (one) percent in 2012.

2.4. IMPORTS

South Africa is an importer of dairy products. The average imports quantity and value over the past ten years amounted to 347 million kilograms at a value of R 7 billion over the past 10 years. Figure 21 present the imports of milk and dairy products from 2003 to 2012.

Source: Quantec Easydata

Figure 21 shows that imports of milk and dairy products fluctuated in both quantity and value throughout the period under analysis. The imports quantity of milk and dairy products reached the new peak of over 59 million kilograms during 2012 and the value of milk and dairy products imported reached a new peak of over R 1.4 billion in 2012. This might be due to the weaker South African Rand. Figure 22 below shows the different types of milk and dairy products imported from 2003 to 2012 in terms of quantity.

Figure 24 above shows that the main supplier of milk and dairy products to South Africa in 2012 was Uruguay which had an import market share of 26% followed by France which exported 18% and New Zealand imported 17% of milk and dairy products to South Africa. Argentina and Australia supplied minimal imports of milk and dairy products, they both had a share of 2% each for South African import market.

2.5. MARKETING CHANNELS IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY

Milk production in South Africa is mainly by two sectors; Commercial Producers, and Small and Medium size Producers (see Figure 25). Commercial Producers sell milk to Dairy Processors. Small and medium size producers sell most of their milk directly to consumers and some to processors. Dairy Processors buys milk from farmers and import milk concentrates and produces dairy products for primary distribution to retailers, exports and for further processing.

3. EMPOWERMENT PLANS BY THE INDUSTRY

The following is a list of ventures/projects/programmes. Media releases were arranged for the dairy industry. The MPO, in conjunction with the provincial departments and municipalities and other relevant stakeholders were responsible for these empowerment plans. 3.1. Successful ventures: Commercially viable. Fort Hare Dairy Trust outside Alice in Eastern Cape started in 2004 and the first cow was milked in October 2007. The trust started between a partnership between 70 white farmers from the Tsitsikamma and the Underberg area – through their company Amandlelo Agri and University of Fort Hare. The University donated land and the cost of the project was R 22 million (R 2 million donated by University, R 5 million by Amandlelo and 15 million by Land Bank of which 7.5 million is loan). The farmers signed on an empowerment company Vuwa Investments which was given 35% stake in the company. The farmers kept 49 % and the rest was shared among 600 workers from the 70 dairy farms. Today Fort Hare Dairy Trust is a state-of-the-art commercial dairy farm. It has 800 cow rotary parlor that produces approximately 10 000 litres of milk a day much of which is supplied to Clover milk company. The farm that requires 600 tons of maize is sourced from farmers in the Alice area. Every year Amandlelo takes between 10 and 15 black interns. Some of them are sent to Fort Hare Dairy Trust. Farmers are rewarded with cattle as they pass through different stages. This will enable them to start their own full time dairy farming (Pretoria News, 17 June 2009). 3.2. Training Programmes: Agri SETA accredited farm worker training. Agri SETA accredited emerging farmer training. Workers training funded by MILK SA. Training of Extension officers of Department of Agriculture in North West Province and Free State.

3.3. Magazines: Ubisi Mail and Dairy Mail are distributed free of charge to emerging farmers.

4. BARRIERS TO THE LEVEL OF PARTICIPATION BY THE EMERGING SECTOR

The low profitability of milk production is the major barrier to entry for the emerging farmers. Access to credit facilities and financial package specially structured to their needs also plays a role. The volatility of the market and the effect of imports in depressing producer prices make it difficult for

the emerging farmers to enter the industry. The dynamics of pricing in the dairy industry as well as the shelf life of the products is such that the

farmers are squeezed to accept whatever price that the producers/processors offer them to dispose of their products.

The market is dominated by 4 major processors in the milk industry making it extremely difficult for the emerging farmers to make inroads in the dairy processing industry.

25

They lack the necessary capital to invest in dairy equipment. The volume of milk produced may not be sufficient to invest in capital equipment. To form a cooperative would assist in increasing the volume through the collection of milk from several small farms. However the infrastructure and the underdeveloped roads and the great distances between farms could be inhibiting factors to go this route.

Smaller processors tend to pay higher raw milk prices than the larger processors during periods of seasonal milk shortages because they lack the bargaining power that the larger processors have. During periods of surpluses the large producers dump their products in the retail sector at very low prices making it difficult for the small processors to compete.

The big players in the market have facilities to convert raw milk into milk powder, butter, cheese or long-life milk which can be stored for longer periods of time. This facility is capital intensive and for the volumes of raw milk produced by the emerging farmers it is not really worth it in the long term.

The farmers/producers lack the expertise, equipment to pasteurize milk. Transport and the quantity are major deterrents for small farmers to get their products to the big processors. The big processors/buyers find it not worth the effort to access these farmers due to the road infrastructure and small inconsistent and small volumes of milk produced.

5. OPPORTUNITIES AND WEAKNESSES

Success in the dairy market depends on two factors namely: quality products and the support of processors. Successful advertising, exports and the development of new products are also important. Some consumers like to buy fresh milk direct from producers because the origin of the milk is known. A strong relationship can be built between producer/s and consumers. Producers can sell direct to small cafes and street vendors shortening the value chain cutting out some transaction costs resulting in an increase in profits. This channel will require higher capital and involves more risks. A sound relationship needs to be in place between the sellers and the buyers. Since deregulation the number of smaller milk producers has increased dramatically and processors are willing to receive milk from the smaller producers. However this supply channel will require a high level control measures on hygiene and the producer has to comply with the required standards. High demand of value added products such as sour milk, yoghurt and cheese can be a market to be explored. However to go this route would require high investment, market knowledge and the necessary training. Packaging to promote brand identification can open an opportunity but this would require market research and knowledge, training and investment.

Table 22 shows that during 2012, South Africa exported a total of 28 245 tons of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) at an average value of US$ 1 024/unit. South Africa exported greater quantities of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) to Zimbabwe, Mozambique and United Republic of Tanzania. The greatest share of South African milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) exports were destined to Zimbabwe which commanded 56.9% share during the year 2012 followed by Mozambique (27.6 %) then United Republic of Tanzania by 8.3%. South Africa’s milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) exports increased by 31% in value and 8% in quantity between the periods 2008 and 2012. During the same period, exports of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) to Zimbabwe increased by 109% in value while quantity increased by 114%; and Mozambique increased by 28% in value and decreased by 12% in quantity. Between the periods 2011 and 2012 South Africa’s exports of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) increased by 33% in value. During the same period, Zimbabwe and Mozambique increased by 36% and 57% respectively in value.

Figure 26 illustrates that South Africa’s exports of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) represent 0.33% of world exports. Between 2008 and 2012 South Africa’s milk and cream, not concentrated or sweetened to Zimbabwe, Democratic republic of Congo, Saint Helena, United Republic of Tanzania, Ghana, Zambia, Angola, Comoros and Seychelles were growing at a rate that is less than their import growth from the world. This means that South Africa is losing the market in the mentioned countries. During the same period, South Africa’s milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) exports to Uganda, Mauritius, Nigeria, Mozambique and Malawi were growing at a rate that is greater than their imports from the rest of the world. Therefore South Africa is gaining the market share in those countries. Mauritius, Nigeria, Malawi and Mozambique represent loses in the declining market and Uganda represent gains the dynamic market. Zimbabwe experienced the highest growth in demand of milk and cream not concentrated nor sweetened imports during the periods 2008 to 2012. Annual growth of exports to Zimbabwe was 109%.

South Africa is currently exporting large quantities of milk and cream, not concentrated nor sweetened to Zimbabwe, and it has a market share on 56.89% of South Africa’s exports (see Figure 27). Zimbabwe’s imports from the world is greater than its imports from South Africa, therefore South Africa can still penetrate Zimbabwe’s import market because its annual growth is also attractive (143%). If South Africa wishes to diversify its exports of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened), United Republic of Tanzania is the second fastest growing market with an annual imports growth of 36%. United Republic of Tanzania is the small market but its imports from the world are greater than its imports from South Africa therefore. South Africa has a chance to penetrate this market.

Table 24 shows that during 2012 South Africa exported a total of 12 915 tons of buttermilk and yoghurt at an average value of US$ 2 071/unit. South Africa exported greater quantities of buttermilk and yoghurt to Angola, and Mozambique. The greatest share of South African buttermilk and yoghurt exports were destined to Angola which commanded 63.3% share during the year 2012 followed at a distance by Mozambique with 22.6. South Africa’s buttermilk and yoghurt exports have increased by 28% in value and 24% in quantity between the periods 2008 and 2012. During the same period, exports of buttermilk and yoghurt to Angola increased by 30% in value and 36% in quantity; Mozambique increased by 31% in value and 16% in quantity. Between the periods 2011 and 2012, South Africa’s exports of buttermilk and yoghurt decreased by 50% in value. During the same period, Angola and Mozambique increased by 102% and 12% respectively in value.

Figure 30 illustrates that South Africa’s exports of buttermilk and yoghurt represent 64% of the world exports Between 2008 and 2012 South Africa was losing the market share of buttermilk and yoghurt in Malawi, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Maldives and Saint Helena because its exports were growing at a rate that is less than their import growth from the rest of the world. During the same periods, South Africa’s buttermilk and yoghurt exports to Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Mozambique, Congo, Seychelles, Kenya and Angola were growing at a rate that is greater than their imports from the rest of the world. Therefore South Africa is gaining the market share in these countries. The fastest growing market of South African buttermilk and Yogurt exist in Zambia and Zimbabwe with the annual South African exports of 54% and 35% respectively. Their annual import growth is at 60% and 97% respectively.

South Africa’s exports of buttermilk and yoghurt are dominant in Angola but if South Africa wishes to diversify its exports the most attractive market will be Togo (see Figure 31). The smallest possible market is at Zimbabwe. South Africa is currently exporting 4.76% of buttermilk and yogurt to Zimbabwe and its annual import growth is at 97%. This makes it more attractive even if it is the smallest market of buttermilk and yoghurt with a world market share of 0.1%. Zimbabwe is still importing more buttermilk and yoghurt from the rest of the world than from South Africa.

Figure 32 illustrates that that South Africa’s exports of whey and natural milk products represent 0.03% of the world exports. Between 2008 and 2012 South Africa’s whey and natural milk products exported to Democratic Republic of Congo, Republic of Korea, Japan, Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe were growing at a rate that is less than their import growth from the rest of the world. Therefore, South Africa is losing the market share in the mentioned countries. During the same period, South Africa is gaining the market shares of whey and natural milk products exports in Zambia, Angola, Saint Helena and Lebanon because their imports from South Africa were growing at a rate that is greater than their imports from the rest of the world. Zambia’s annual demand growth imports of whey and natural milk products is the highest at 136% rate.

The chart illustrates that Japan is the biggest importer of South African whey and natural milk products with a world market share of 2.9% (see Figure 33). The biggest market exists in China with the world import share of 14.4%. South Africa might look on developing a new market in China especially that its annual import growth is at 28%. The fastest growing markets although small exist in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Zambia’s annual import growth is at 136% followed by Zimbabwe by 128%. Therefore these two markets might be the most attractive markets for South Africa’s diversification.

Figure 34 illustrates that that South Africa’s exports of butter and other fats and oils represent 0.07% of the world exports. Between 2008 and 2012 South Africa’s butter and other fats exported to United States of America, Mauritius, Mozambique, Saint Helena, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Uganda, Ghana, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Malawi and Angola were growing at a rate that is less than their export growth to the rest of the world. During the same period, South Africa’s butter and other fats exports to Zambia, United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Ethiopia and United Republic of Tanzania were growing at a rate that is greater than their exports to the rest of the world. United republic of Tanzania, United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia represent gains in the declining market while Zambia and Kenya represent gains in the dynamic market. The most growing demand of butter and other fats and oils exist in Zimbabwe with annual imports growth of 68% per annum during the periods 2008 to 2012.

Figure 35 illustrates that South Africa is currently exporting most of its butter and other fats to Mozambique and Zimbabwe but if South Africa has to diversify its export market, the biggest market exist in Germany with a world import share of 8.2% buts its annual import growth is low at 4%. Kenya is the small market but its annual import growth of 26% is attractive. It might be difficult for South Africa to penetrate the Germany imports market but easy to penetrate the Kenya market. Therefore South Africa might diversify to those two markets.

Table 29 shows that during 2021 South Africa imported a total of 13 257 tons of milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened), at an average value of US$ 3 274/unit. South Africa imported greater quantities of milk and cream, (concentrated or sweetened) from France, New Zealand and Germany. The greatest share of South African milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened) imports originated from France which commanded 24.9% share during the year 2012 followed by New Zealand by21% and Germany by 14.6%. South Africa’s milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) imports increased by 23% in value and 22% in quantity between the periods 2008 and 2012. During the same period, imports of milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened) from France also increased by 92% in value and 91% in quantity; and Germany increased in value and quantity by 48% and 40% respectively. Between the periods 2011 and 2012, South Africa’s imports of milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened) increased by 47% in value. During the same period, France’s milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened) exports to South Africa increase 111% in value and Germany increased by 151% in value during the same periods.

Figure 41 illustrates that New Zealand is not a big supplier of South Africa’s market for milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened) but it is the main world exporter and its exports were growing at 18% per annum over the period 2008 to 2012. New Zealand is therefore the biggest prospective supplier for South Africa’s milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened). The chart also shows that Argentina is the second prospect import market due to its annual exports growth rate of 23% during 2008 to 2012. It represents a small possible supplier for South Africa’s milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened).
