Post forecasts that South Africa will plant a record area of 1.2 million hectares with oilseeds in the 2014/15 MY, which could produce a historical high oilseed crop of 1.8 million tons. This positive trend in oilseed production is mainly driven by investments of more than US$100 million on expanding South Africa’s soybean processing capacity. As a result, South Africa will crush a record of 1.6 million tons of oilseeds in the 2014/15 MY and oilseed meal imports will drop by more than 20 percent to about 580,000 tons.
