1 QUALITY, PRICING AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE WHEAT INDUSTRY IN SOUTH AFRICA 21 September 2015 Dr Johnny van der Merwe Lecturer / Agricultural economics (Prof HD van Schalkwyk and Dr PC Cloete)
2 So what motivated me to undertake this study? We experienced a significant decline in wheat production, especially since the abolishment of apartheid in 1994 At the same time: Yields increased significantly Area dedicated to wheat production declined significantly
3 Performance of producers in major production areas declined Western Cape Eastern Free State One argument was that South Africa wheat producers are simply not competitive enough to compete in the international market
4 International competitiveness (RTA index) However, when the competitive status was analyzed, it was seen that: SA is the only country amongst its trading partners that exhibits a uncompetitive unprocessed sector while also having a competitive semi-processed sector Brazil Australia South Africa
5 What does this mean? Wheat is imported, processed and exported mostly to African countries. Although the expansion of the African market is exciting, why has local production rapidly declined and lost ground alongside its global competitors? The declining competitiveness of SA producers can be attributed to increasing costs and/or stagnant (declining) income. The concentrated on the income side of the equation which is dependable on two factors: Yields Price In a search for what can possibly be held accountable: Bikker et al. (2007) showed that a country s institutional framework or, in other words, the way in which an industry conducts business will influence the competitiveness of that industry.
6 The Cultivar Release Criteria The Cultivar Release Criteria, which is a system that approves certain cultivars for commercial production (based on certain quality characteristics), can have an influence on both yields and prices received by producers. The fact that yield and quality of a cultivar are negatively correlated means that this system thus has the potential to influence the income and competitiveness of producers. This study therefore determined whether or not declining wheat production in South Africa can be attributed to the way in which this market conducts business.
7 Is the quality prescribed to producers justified? Quality is an essential part of the wheat industry and determines the kind and quality of product that can be produced. Thus, quality can't simply be disregarded for higher yields. However, for the industry to be sustainable over the long term, yields can't be disregarded. It is essential that a balance between yield and quality is found. It was therefore attempted in this study to find this balance. This was done by determining the quality that was used in the marketplace for all products and comparing it to the prescribed quality to producers. If these two did not match, the balance is regarded as off.
8 Quality prescribed to producers In order to determine the quality prescribed to producers, quality data was obtained from the cultivars that serves as biological standards in each production region. In order to correct for seasonal variations, the average quality over a 8 year period was used. Three comparisons were made to determine whether or not these qualities are justified or not: Wheat quality standards compared to wheat quality supplied Wheat quality standards compared to wheat flour quality Wheat quality standards compared to the quality of price determining wheat-importing countries

19 So what? This was then compared to previously rejected cultivars and their corresponding yields. This enabled the study to quantify the impact on productivity (yields). Based on the yields of cultivars that could have been accepted had standards been relaxed to within reasonable limits, wheat production could have been increased by at least 12.8 percent. From the results of the sensitivity analysis, (comparing the yields of the new cultivars and subtracting 20 percent yield to the commercial yields in each production region) it was concluded that an estimated increase in production of percent can even be expected. Thus, by bringing the regulations for the release of new cultivars simply into line with quality used by the market, the productivity and competitiveness of producers will be improved substantially (between 12% and 20%). When applying a DLP Farm Level Model, it was found that this equated to an estimated loss in NFI of between R606 million and R920 million per annum.
20 The following question however must be asked: Why is local production quality standards set so strict? This enables wheat buyers (which is highly concentrated) to obtain high quality South African wheat at the lowest price globally. Additionally it allows them to still have the desired quality by mixing local and imported wheat. It is essential for improved wheat production competitiveness that prices are linked to quality for not only for locally produced wheat but for imported wheat as well. Allow lower qualities (higher yields) and/or Pay a higher price for higher quality local wheat
