Highlights
Value added (agriculture sector) and physical volume of production (mining and manufacturing
sectors)
Valued added by the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector benefitted from favourable weather
conditions early in the first semester of 2014, with good rain in the major maize growing areas. This
resulted in 3.3% growth in real terms relative to the corresponding period in 2013 (refer to Figure 1 on
page 6), mainly due to higher output of field crops and livestock.
The adverse effects of the protracted strike in the platinum group metals (PGM) mining sub-sector were
reflected in the 27.8% contraction (year-on-year) in its physical volume of production in the first half of
2014, with its large weighting impacting negatively on the performance of the overall mining sector. The
‘other mining’ sub-sector (including manganese ore, chrome ore, nickel, copper, building materials and
diamonds) and iron ore mining reported solid increases in production volumes in the opening half of the
year, although output of manganese, iron ore and, to a lesser extent, chrome ore tapered off towards the
end of the period. Nonetheless, on a cumulative basis over the six-month period, manganese and nickel
production was substantially higher relative to the corresponding period in 2013, posting increases of
approximately 27.3% and 14.6%, respectively, while diamond production was 17.6% higher. Output of
coal (-0.8% year-on-year) and copper (-0.1%) was marginally lower in the first semester of 2014, and
the downward trend in gold production continued unabated.
The physical volume of production in the broad manufacturing sector remained unaltered in the opening
half of 2014 relative to the corresponding period in 2013. Major segments of the manufacturing sector
continued to face difficult trading conditions in key external markets, particularly in Europe.
Domestically, demand conditions deteriorated due to the spill-over effects of the industrial action
induced production stoppages in platinum mining during the first five months of 2014, as well as
weakening household demand for consumption goods. Manufacturing sub-sectors with strong linkages
to mining activity, such as machinery and equipment, ‘other transport equipment’, ‘other chemicals’ and
rubber products reported lower production volumes. Sub-sectors that recorded substantially higher
output levels included television, radio and communication equipment; leather and leather products; and
coke and refined petroleum products.
Utilisation of production capacity in manufacturing
Despite flat overall production volumes, the broad manufacturing sector reported a marginal increase in
the utilisation of its production capacity in the second quarter of 2014 relative to the same period a year
earlier, as illustrated in Figure 2 on page 6. This may be indicative of a slight loss of production capacity.
September 2014 IDC – Research and Information – Sectoral Trends 2
Highlights
The higher output levels posted by the television, radio and communication equipment sub-sector and
the coke and refined petroleum products sub-sector were confirmed by a higher utilisation of their
production capacity in the year to the second quarter of 2014.
In contrast, the furniture sub-sector continued to experience difficult operating conditions as reflected by
lower production volumes, and yet also reduced spare capacity, possibly indicating a decline in its
production capacity over the past year.
Employment
Employment levels in the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector declined by 83 000, or 11.2% of the
sector’s total employment, in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter in 2013 (refer to
Figure 3 on page 7). The contraction in employment since the first quarter of 2013, when the most
recent peak was recorded, amounted to 105 000 job losses. This adverse trend may be partly explained
by the sharp increase in the sector’s minimum wage during the latter part of 2013, which may have
reinforced its mechanisation drive.
Mining sector employment fell by approximately 25 000, or 4.9% of the total, in the year to the second
quarter of 2014. The majority of the job losses were attributable to the gold mining (-18 188) and
platinum group metals mining (-8 309) sub-sectors. The contraction reported in the gold mining sub-
sector was mainly due to a lower number of permanent employees, whilst the platinum group metals
mining sub-sector reduced the use of contract employees as the five-month long strike drew to a close
at the end of the second quarter of 2014.
Employment in the broad manufacturing sector declined by 9 000 in the second quarter of 2014 relative
to the levels reported a year earlier. The following sub-sectors recorded the largest job losses: furniture
(-3 104 jobs); textiles (-3 060); and motor vehicles, parts and accessories (-2 006). The wood and wood
products sub-sector as well as the paper and paper products sub-sector, in turn, reported substantial
employment gains in the order of 3 336 and 2 612 additional jobs, respectively.
Further employment losses are expected in the overall manufacturing sector in the third quarter of 2014
considering the generally difficult trading conditions and above inflation wage increases settled upon in
segments of the sector at the end of a month-long strike.
Worker remuneration in mining and manufacturing
Gross remuneration per worker in the mining sector was clearly affected by protracted strike activity in
its platinum mining segment, as it declined by 0.5% over the 12-month period up to the second quarter
September 2014 IDC – Research and Information – Sectoral Trends 3
Highlights
of 2014 (refer to Figure 4 on page 7). Due to the ‘no-work-no-pay’ principle, the average remuneration
per worker in the platinum group metals mining sub-sector fell by 20.5% over this period.
Against the backdrop of declining employment at the broad sector level, gross remuneration per worker
in manufacturing increased by 7.4% in the year to the second quarter of 2014. At the sub-sector level,
the highest rates of increase were reported by the coke and refined petroleum as well as the ‘other
chemicals’ industries.
Trade balance (excl. BLNS)
South Africa’s external trade (excluding trade with Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland, also
known as the BLNS countries within the Southern African Customs Union) in the opening semester of
2014 was severely affected by the production stoppages associated with industrial action over the first
five months of the year, as well as by weaker global demand, especially in commodities markets. Import
demand, particularly for mineral products (mostly crude oil and refined petroleum and related products),
remained strong. The balance of trade recorded a cumulative deficit of R108.5 billion, representing a
26% increase on the R86.1 billion deficit reported in the first half of 2013 (refer to page 9).
The trade surplus with European countries outside of the European Union (EU) narrowed to R2.2 billion
in the opening semester of 2014, from R7.4 billion a year earlier. In contrast, the trade deficit with the EU
came in at R48.8 billion, compared to R58.3 billion in the first half of 2013.
A sharp increase in imports from the Middle East worsened South Africa’s trade deficit with this region
over the first six months of 2014 to almost R50 billion, from R35 billion in the corresponding period a
year earlier.
South Africa’s trade surplus with the rest of the African continent (excluding BLNS) remained almost
unchanged at R19.5 billion over the reporting period.
Exports (excl. BLNS)
South Africa’s merchandise exports (excluding exports to BLNS countries) totalled R403.4 billion in the
first semester of 2014, representing an 8.4% increase relative to the corresponding period in 2013, as
illustrated in Figure 5 on page 8.
Exports of the agriculture, forestry & fishing sector increased by 7.6% over this period, having benefitted
from a substantial rise in exports of edible fruits (such as citrus fruit, grapes, stone fruit, etc.). Exports of
maize, apples and groundnuts fell sharply over the period.
September 2014 IDC – Research and Information – Sectoral Trends 4
Highlights
The value of mining related exports declined marginally in the opening semester of 2014 on a year-on-
year basis. The exports of the gold mining sub-sector fell by R6.4 billion, while those of the PGMs mining
sub-sector were R3.7 billion lower. The stronger export performance of ores, especially manganese
(+R2.7 billion) and iron (+R1.3 billion), in conjunction with coal (+R1.3 billion) limited the impact of lower
precious metals’ exports.
Manufacturing exports increased by 16.2% in the first half of 2014 relative to the corresponding period a
year earlier. Iron and steel exports made a substantial contribution as these increased by R13.2 billion
over this period. Higher output levels in the television, radio and communications equipment supported
an 88.9% increase in the value its exports, the best performance of all manufacturing sub-sectors, albeit
off a very low base.
Asia remained the largest regional market for South Africa’s exports in the first semester of 2014. Mining
products dominated the export basket destined for this region, specifically iron ore, coal, non-ferrous
metals and PGMs. Iron and steel exports were also significant, with China, Japan and India as key Asian
destinations.
Although Asia remained the leading export destination, exports to the EU were the largest contributors to
the 9% year-on-year growth in overall exports in the first half of 2014. The export basket destined for EU
markets was dominated by basic iron and steel, PGMs, motor vehicles, parts and accessories for motor
vehicles, as well as cereals and other agricultural products. Germany, the United Kingdom, the
Netherlands and Belgium were the principal contributors to the growth in South Africa’s exports to the
EU over this period.
The rest of the African continent has become an increasingly important market for locally-produced
goods, accounting for approximately 18.7%, or R75.6 billion, of South Africa’s overall merchandise
export basket (excluding trade with BLNS countries). Importantly, the export basket destined for African
markets consists largely of manufactured goods and is quite diversified, comprising items such as
machinery and equipment (e.g. mining and agricultural machinery); transport equipment (including motor
vehicles and parts); base metals and fabricated metal products; chemicals; as well as processed food.
The decline in exports destined for the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) region was
mainly attributable to lower exports of spun and woven textiles.
Imports (excl. BLNS)
Merchandise imports (excluding imports from BLNS countries) during the first semester of 2014
amounted to R511.9 billion, representing an increase of 11.7% from the value recorded over the
corresponding period in 2013, as illustrated in Figure 6 on page 8.
September 2014 IDC – Research and Information – Sectoral Trends 5
Highlights
The value of imports of agricultural, forestry and fishing products increased by 36.4% over this period,
largely due to imports of oil seed (R920 million higher, or 188%) and cereals (R854 million higher, or
46%).
Mining imports similarly rose by 36.7%, driven mainly by increased imports of crude oil, which expanded
by R25.6 billion, and PGM ores (which increased by 641% year-on-year, or R1.1 billion) to cater for
insufficient domestic supply due to production stoppages.
Imports of manufactured goods increased by 5.9% in the year to the first semester of 2014, with import
demand for parts and accessories of motor vehicles, electric motors, generators and transformers, motor
vehicles, as well as for office, accounting and computing machinery rising sharply. Demand for imported
iron and steel products, in turn, fell 20.4% over this period.
Asia remained South Africa’s largest source of imported products, mostly supplying petroleum products,
motor vehicle parts and accessories, as well as television and radio transmitters, line telephony. China,
India, Japan, Thailand and Singapore were the most prominent sources of these imports.
The substantial growth in imports from the Middle East recorded in the first half of 2014 on a year-on-
year basis was attributable to sharply higher crude oil imports (R12.6 billion higher, or 36.4%) and some
refined petroleum imports (R1.5 billion higher, or 29.8%), sourced largely from Saudi Arabia and, to a
lesser extent, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.

Notes
All volume of production data (value add data in the case of the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector) is seasonally adjusted. All other data
is not seasonally adjusted.
All trade data and related information exclude South Africa’s trade with Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and Swaziland (BLNS). Discrepancies
may arise between preliminary trade data released by SARS and the Quantec data utilised in this report due to historical revisions.
The methodology utilised by StatsSA and DMR in relation to remuneration data differs in that the DMR includes all income derived due to
employment, such as severance, retrenchment and termination payments as well as income derived from employee share schemes.
Therefore direct comparisons between remuneration per worker in the mining and manufacturing sectors reported in this document should
be done with great care.
Data sources
Quantec Research based on South African Revenue Services (SARS): South African trade data.
Statistics South Africa (Stats SA): South African employment, production and capacity utilization data.
Department of Mineral Resources: South African employment and remuneration data for the mining sector and sub-sectors.
