Post forecasts that South Africa will plant around 3.2 million hectares of corn in the 2014/15 MY, which could realize a total corn crop of about 13.0 million tons. South Africa’s corn crop for the 2013/14 MY, at 14.6 million tons, is 17 percent more than the 2012/13 MY’s corn crop of 12.5 million tons and the largest since the 1980/81 MY. As a result, South Africa should have sufficient stocks to export about 3.5 million tons of corn in the 2013/14 MY and 2.5 million tons of corn in the 2014/15 MY.
