1 Quarterly Economic Review of the Food and Beverages Industry in South Africa October to December 2016 Volume 3, number 2 DIRECTORATE: AGRO-PROCESSING SUPPORT agriculture, forestry & fisheries

2 PREFACE This Quarterly Economic Review of the Food and Beverage Industry in South Africa: October to December, 2016 publication is the second quarterly review by the Directorate: Agroprocessing Support to provide an overview of the economic performance of the food and beverage industry in South Africa. The Food and beverages industry in South Africa is one of the sub-sectors of agro-processing that plays a dominant role in terms of output and employment in the agro-processing sector. By adding value to the primary agriculture and fisheries production, the food and beverages industry stimulates output and job creation in the primary sector and contributes directly to the food security of the country. In addition, it played a pivotal role in supplying inputs to the food and beverage service industry, wholesale and retail sectors. One of the core businesses of the Directorate: Agro-processing Support is to provide timely and updated economic information regarding the food and beverages industry to monitor its performance and provide insight into the effects of economic policies and exogenous factors on the industry. The main economic indicators reviewed are the changes in prices, production, capacity utilisation, value of sales, formal employment and trade. An outlook of the industry for the next quarter is also presented. In addition, some indicators of the food and beverages service industry, wholesale and retail sectors are reviewed to evaluate the forward linkages of the food and beverages industry. Any comments and suggestions on the content of the publication are most welcome.

4 1. INTRODUCTION The global economic activity improved in, with growth improvement observed in developed economies. The economic performance, with respect to emerging markets and developing economies, has remained mixed. China s growth remained strong, reflecting continued policy support, while economic activity has slowed in India as a result of the impact of the currency exchange initiative. Brazil continued with a negative growth trajectory, leading to a deep recession (IMF, 2017). During, the South African economy contracted at an annualised rate of 0,3%, following a marginal growth of 0,4% in the preceding quarter. The disappointing performance, amongst other reasons, is attributed to weak consumer demand, acceleration in consumer price inflation, stagnant formal sector employment, persistent subdued business and consumer confidence levels that suppressed fixed investment and the adverse effects of the prolonged drought conditions experienced in many parts of the country (Reserve Bank, 2017). During, the seasonally adjusted physical volume of production of the food and beverages industry stagnated by 1,4% quarter-to-quarter, however, it decelerated by 0,3% following a 0,3% contraction previously. Sales for food and beverages moderated by 0,5% from a 3,0% growth in the last quarter, representing a nominal value increase of R in the current period from R million in 2016: Q3. The trade deficit of food and beverages expanded by R933,4 million in the current period of review from a R525,2 million registered in the last quarter. The employment in the food and beverages and tobacco divisions of the agro-processing sector rebounded by 3,4% quarter-to-quarter, however, moderated by 7,1% year-on-year. This represents jobs created in the current period as compared to jobs created previously. This quarterly review assesses the economic performance of the food and beverages industry, given a moderate global economic growth and a contraction of domestic economic activities recorded during. 2. FOOD PRODUCTS According to the Standard Industrial Classification, the food industry incorporates groups of products which are categorised into the following four codes: Code 301 refers to manufacturing, processing and preservation of meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, oils, and fats Code 302 refers to manufacturing, processing and preservation of dairy products Code 303 refers to manufacture of grain mill products, starch products and prepared animal feeds Code 304 refers to manufacture of other food products like bread, sugar, chocolate, pasta, coffee, nuts and spices. Hence, food products will refer to those primary agricultural and fisheries products that have undergone some form of change through manufacturing and processing or performed some value addition activities such as preservation. 1

5 2.1 PRICE Consumer Price Index (CPI) 1 Table 2.1 below shows the consumer price index of food products during. The yearon-year total CPI index of food grew by 6,9% during the period. Similarly, the quarter-toquarter CPI increased by 0,9%. During the quarter, most of the items recorded a positive growth except for oils and fats which declined by 0,3%. On the other hand, the year-on-year growth of most CPI agro-processed products increased during the current period.

6 Producer price index (PPI) 2 The consumer price index for food products grew by 6% year-on-year and by 1,7% quarterto-quarter. The producer price index for meat and meat products, fish and fish products, fruit and vegetables, food products, (Starch and starch products, animal feeds), bakery and sugar grew by 6,0%, 4,9%, 2,8%, 1,7%, 1,4%, 0,5% and 0,1%, respectively during the period under review, while the grain mill products and fats and oils producer price index contracted by 4,3% and 0,1%, respectively during the period under review. The year-on-year producer price of the most of agro-processing products grew during the current quarter.

Insufficient demand and a shortage of semi and unskilled labour were the main reasons for underutilisation during the current period. 2.3 VALUE OF SALES Figure 2.2: Seasonally adjusted value of sales (current prices): food products Source: Statistics SA (2016d) Figure 2.2 above shows the seasonally adjusted value of sales for the food products division. During, the value of sales for food products moderated by 0,5% as compared to the 3,0% growth registered in the previous quarter. Similarly, the year-on-year value of sales moderated by 10,7% following a 13,2% previously. The graph illustrates a pattern of sales performance over a period of five years. It can be seen that value of sales for food products over the years has been increasing steadily. Figure 2.3 shows the performance of food items 5

The dairy and other food products division moderated by 0,6% and 0,4% as compared to growth of 1,5% and 6,2%, respectively in the last quarter. However, dairy products moderated by 0,6%, while grain mill products increased by 1,6% during the period. Figure 2.3: Seasonally adjusted value of sales (current prices): food products Meat, fish, fruit etc Grain mill products Dairy products Other food products Source: Statistics SA (2016d) Wholesale and retail sales 3 The current value of wholesale and retail sales of food, beverages and tobacco are given in Figure 2.4. During, the quarter-to-quarter wholesale of food, beverages and tobacco grew by 11,9% following a growth of 7,0% in the last quarter, however, it moderated by 6,0% year-on-year. Similarly, the quarter-to-quarter retail sales of food, beverages and tobacco grew by 24,9%, as compared to a 7,4% growth previously and moderated by 13,8% year-on-year. As a result, the quarter-to-quarter value of income of wholesale and retail sales of food, beverages and tobacco increased from R25 754,3 million and R5 765,6 million in the last quarter to R28 831,0 million and R7 198, 6 million, respectively during the period. 3 Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) conducts a monthly survey covering enterprises in the wholesale and retail trade industry. The results of the monthly wholesale and retail trade sales survey are used to compile estimates of the gross domestic product (GDP) and its components, which are used in monitoring the state of the economy and formulation of economic policy. These statistics are also used in the analysis of comparative business and industry performance. 6

Figure 2.5 indicates that during, the income from food sales in the service industry accelerated by 11,7% following 5,6% growth registered in the previous quarter, however, it moderated by 8,8% year-on-year as compared to 9,0% growth previously. As a result, the total income increased from R3 892,0 million in the last quarter to R4 346,8 million in the current period. Figure 2.6 below illustrates the breakdown in total income growth for service industries, i.e., restaurants and coffee shops 8, take-away and fast food outlets 9 and catering services. During the period under review, the restaurants and coffee shops 10, take-away and fast food outlets grew by 16,4% and 12,3% as compared to the 5,5% and 5,4% respective growth recorded previously. However, catering services contracted by 1,7% from a 6,4% growth in the last quarter.

12 2.5 TRADE Main food export destinations and products Figure 2.7 below shows food export destination share of the continents. During, Africa constituted the main export destination of food by 58%, followed by Asia and Europe by 20% and 16%, respectively. The Americas and Oceania altogether accounted for 6% of the total food export. The trend during the past five years shows that Africa still remains the biggest share of the continent when it comes to food export, while the Americas and Asia s share still remains marginal over the period (see Figure 2.8).

As a result in the rebound of total food products by 3,7% as compared to a contraction of 0,9% previously, it represented a total number of jobs created in the food division under the period from jobs shed in the last quarter. 2.7 OUTLOOK Table 2.7: Net balance 12 of BER manufacturing survey: food products 2016: Q2 2016: Q3 2017: Q1* Domestic sales volumes Export sales volumes Production volumes Domestic order volumes received Export order volumes received General business conditions Number of factory workers Fixed investment Business confidence Expected volume of goods imported in 12 months time Expected volume of goods exported in 12 months time Expected real investment in machinery and equipment in 12 months time BER calculates the net balance statistics by subtracting the percentage of the respondents replying down from the percentage replying up to a particular question. Respondents are asked to compare the current quarter s experience to that of a year ago. A positive net balance implies an improvement (i.e., positive year-on-year growth) and vice versa. Therefore, the net balance varies from -100 to 100 where -100 is the most negative response; 0 is a situation of no change and 100 is the most positive response. 13 BER calculates the business confidence index by asking respondents to rate current business conditions as satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Then the index is derived as a gross percentage of the respondents replying satisfactory. A value of 50 is indicative of neutrality, 100 indicative of extreme confidence and 0 of extreme lack of confidence. An index greater than 50 shows the majority of respondents are satisfied with the prevailing economic conditions. 20

However, it moderated by 5,5% year-on-year as compared to a 5,6% growth previously. (see Figure 4.6). Due to the strong linkages between agro-processing and primary agriculture, the growth of the beverages division during the period can be attributed to the bountiful harvest experienced by farmers in the current season. 3.4 INCOME FROM BAR SALES IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY 14 Figure 3.3 shows the income from bar sales in the food and beverages service industry in. During this period, the quarter-to-quarter income from bar sales in the services industry grew modestly by 11,7% as compared to a 5,6% growth registered previously. However, it moderated by 8,8% following a 9,0% growth in the last quarter. That resulted in the total income growth of R 4 346,8 million in the current quarter from R3 892,0 million registered in 2016: Q3.

CONCLUSION The global economic activity has witnessed improvement in, which was observed in developed economies. The economic performance with respect to emerging market and developing economies has remained mixed. However, during, the South African economy contracted at an annualised rate of 0,3%, following a marginal growth of 0,4% in the preceding quarter. During the period, the share of continents as a source of food exports was largely constituted by Africa, then Asia and Europe. On the other hand, Europe, followed by Asia and the Americas, constituted a huge share of continents share of food imports whereas Oceania and Africa constituted a minimal share. In terms of beverages, Africa, Asia and Europe contributed a large share of beverages exports during the period, whereas Europe, followed by Africa then the Americas constituted a huge share of beverages imported during the period to a total of 95% combined. During, the seasonally adjusted physical volume of production of the food and beverages industry stagnated by 1,4% quarter-to-quarter, however, it decelerated by 2,9% following a 0,3% contraction previously. Sales for food and beverages moderated by 0,5% from a 3,0% growth recorded in the last quarter, representing a nominal value increase of R in the current period from R million in 2016: Q3. Despite the stagnant growth in physical volume of production, the trade deficit of food and beverages widened by R933,4 million in the current period of review from a R525,2 million registered in the last quarter. 35
