11 Current global trends observed: 1. Global Value chain What s NOT going for SA? - Policy uncertainty Source: BER/RMB Business Confidence Index, Quarter 3, 2015 To be sure, given how weak the economy is right now, and made even more vulnerable by increased uncertainty around political, economic policy and labour developments, it wouldn't take much of a setback to actually push it over the edge", said Ettienne Le Roux, chief economist at RMB Source: Agbiz/IDC Agribusiness confidence index Quarter 3, 2015

12 Current global trends observed: 1. Global Value chain What s NOT going for SA? - Losing competitiveness.shifting investment elsewhere. Primary agriculture Secondary agriculture Source: Agbiz trade competitiveness report, with NWU input

26 High growth agro-processing exports ( )

27 Low growth agro-processing exports ( )

28 Summary of agro-processing exports The top 10 agro-processed exports constitute 40% of total agroprocessing exports Six of the top 10 products are growing at above 1.6% levels of growth; and these are referred herein as high growth exports These include grape wines (>2l), food preparations, refined cane sugar, maize groats & meal, animal feed preparations, unfermented juices etc. Four of the top 10 products are experiencing negative growth rates between , and these are referred to as low growth exports There include grape wines (<=2l), tobacco cigarettes and under-natured alcohol. High concentration of export markets in agro-processing exports means that there is scope for market diversification Focus on market development is critical.

29 High growth agro-processing imports ( )

30 Low growth agro-processing imports ( )

31 Summary of agro-processing imports The top 10 agro-processed imports constitute 45% of total agro-processing exports Five of the top 10 products are growing at above 1.6% levels of growth; and these are referred herein as high growth exports These include food preparations, sunflower oil, sardines, refined sugar and animal feed preparations. Five of the top 10 products are experiencing negative growth rates between , and these are referred to as low growth exports There include soybean oil cake, whiskies, tobacco, soybean oil and fractions, and malt beer Sharp declines in soybean oilcake and soybean oil + fractions is reflective of the expansion of soybean processing capacity Is there import substitution potential for whisky, tobacco and malt beer?

36 Criteria for product / value chain selection Criteria Agro-processing potential of raw material (feedstock) Potential contribution to agricultural GDP Unmet Export Market Demand Unmet Local Market Demand Growth Potential Ability to Differentiate from International Competitors Description The conversion of primary agricultural products into other commodities for market Evidence that the agro-processing value chain can make a significant contribution Evidence of strong effective demand for products being produced Demand for products exceeds supply Potential for import replacement Potential for market expansion (low risk of decline) Potential in the short, medium, and low term Products are competitive with existing and potential suppliers from other countries (lower cost, better quality, etc.) Feedstock procurement - reliability Potential for Employment Generation Potential number of SMEs Favourable Business Environment Institutional Mandates Lack of emerging producers who might offer more competitive products Potential for enterprises (large and small) to create new employment opportunities Potential number of SMEs participating in the value chain Existence of policies/regulations that support the value chain Level of support and commitment of the industry stakeholders Source: KZN Agro-processing strategy (2015)

39 Conclusion Global value chains & Supermarket phenomenon: market dictates Many factors that determine success in the development of agro-processing Complex! Agro-processing a high skilled, capital intensive and scale of economy business Level of government intervention a concern: - Can crowd out private sector investment - Can undermine competitiveness of currently competitive players
