Areas planted and third production forecast for summer crops for the 2015 production season
According to the third production forecast for summer crops by the Crop Estimates Committee (CEC) for the
2015 production season, the expected commercial maize crop was 9,763 million tons, which is 31,5% less
than the 14,250 million tons of the 2014 season. The estimated area planted to maize by South African
commercial maize producers during the 2015 season is 2,653 million ha—1,3% less than the 2,688 million
ha planted the previous season.
The ratio of white to yellow maize plantings was estimated at 55:45. The estimated white maize plantings
were 1,448 million ha, which is a decrease of 6,6% from the previous season’s plantings of 1,551 million ha.
Yellow maize plantings were estimated to be 1,205 million ha—6,0% more than the 1,137 million ha for
2014.
During the 2015 production season, most of the country’s maize crop was planted in the Free State (46,0%),
North West (24,5%) and Mpumalanga (17,7%) provinces. The plantings of maize increased by 2,1%, from

Intended plantings of winter crops for the 2015 production season
The CEC released the intended plantings of winter crops on 29 April 2015. The figures were based on replies
received from a sample of producers. The survey, which was undertaken by the Directorate: Statistics and
Economic Analysis of the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, gives an indication of the
plantings intended by commercial farmers as at the middle of April 2015.
Intended plantings of wheat were 481 300 ha, which is 1,0% more than the 476 570 ha planted in 2014. The
main wheat-producing areas are within the Western Cape with 316 000 ha (65,7%), followed by the Free
State with 70 000 ha (14,5%) and the Northern Cape with 42 000 ha (8,7%).
The area expected to be planted to malting barley was 95 800 ha, which is an increase of 12,5% or
10 675 ha from the 85 125 ha of the previous season.
The intended plantings of canola were 85 000 ha, which is 10,5% or 10 000 ha less than the 95 000 ha
planted during 2014. On record, this is the second largest area planted to canola.

3. ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
This article gives an overview of the major macroeconomic changes in the agricultural sector from the period
1 April 2013 to 31 March 2014 to the period 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015.
Gross farming income
Gross farming income refers to the agricultural production that is marketed, together with the part that is for
own consumption, both valued at basic prices.
Gross income from all agricultural products amounted to R221 231 million for the year ended 31 March 2015,
which is 13,2% higher than the previous period. This increase can be attributed to a rise in income from field
crops, animal products and horticultural products.
The gross income from field crops increased by 13,7%, from R49 455 million to R56 225 million. The income
from cotton increased by 84,6%, grain sorghum by 83,5%, groundnuts by 63,6%, sunflower seed by 55,3%,
soya beans by 54,1%, dry beans by 38,8%, maize by 12,5% and tobacco by 7,8%. The income from sugar
cane and wheat decreased by 10,5% and 3,2% respectively.
The income from horticultural products increased by 12,5%, from R52 961 million to R59 586 million, because
of a rise in income from citrus fruit by 29,5%, deciduous and other fruit by 17,6%, vegetables by 6,3% and
subtropical fruit by 3,5%, while the income from viticulture decreased by 2,2%.
The income from animal products showed an increase of 13,2%, from R93 089 million to R105 420 million, as
a result of increases in incomes from sheep slaughtered by 25,2%, milk by 17,7%, cattle and calves
slaughtered by 17,6%, poultry meat by 11,8% and eggs by 6,6%.

Expenditure on intermediate production inputs
Expenditure on intermediate production inputs refers to the value of the goods and services that were
purchased to be consumed as inputs during the production process.
Expenditure on intermediate goods and services increased by 3,6% and amounted to R116 230 million for the
year ended 31 March 2015. Expenditure on seed and plants and building and fencing material increased by
10,0% each, packing material by 9,0%, farm feeds by 8,0%, farm services and animal health and crop
protection by 6,0% each, maintenance and repairs of machinery and implements by 5,0% and fertilisers by
3,0%. The expenditure on fuel decreased by 21,7%.
Expenditure on farm feeds was the biggest expenditure item, accounting for 29,1% of total expenditure on
intermediate inputs, followed by maintenance and repairs of machinery and implements (14,4%), farm
services (12,7%), fuel (7,6%), animal health and crop protection (6,4%), seed and plants (6,2%), packing
material (4,6%) and building and fencing material (3,8%).
Prices received and prices paid by farmers, as well as terms of trade
On average, prices received by farmers for their products increased by 4,9%. The weighted average price of
field crops decreased by 6,6%, mainly as a result of a decrease in prices of summer grains and oilseeds by
16,2% and 5,8% respectively. However, the prices of hay increased by 12,8%, tobacco by 12,3%, sugar cane
by 11,4%, cotton by 8,5%, dry beans by 6,4% and winter grains by 5,2%.

Crops and Markets First Quarter 2015
Prices of horticultural products increased by an average of 5,6% because of increases in prices of fruit by
6,3%, vegetables by 5,8% and viticulture by 1,1%.
The prices of animal products increased on average by 11,6%. Prices received from milk increased by 15,5%,
slaughtered stock by 14,1%, poultry by 9,4% and pastoral products by 4,1%.
The prices paid for farming requisites, including machinery and implements, material for fixed improvements
and intermediate goods and services, increased by 5,8%. Prices of tractors increased by 12,7%, trucks by
6,6%, feeds by 6,4%, fuel by 6,1%, animal health and crop protection by 5,8%, packing and fencing materials
by 5,5% each, maintenance and repairs by 4,8%, seeds by 4,6%, building material by 4,4% and fertilisers by
2,8%.
The 4,9% increase in prices received compared to 5,8% increase in prices paid by the farmers resulted in the
domestic terms of trade declining slightly by 1,0%.

Net farm income and cash flow
An increase of 13,2% in gross farm income against an increase of 3,6% in expenditure on intermediate
production inputs resulted in an increase of 33,7% in net farming income to R78 973. Interest payments
increased by 8,6%, labour remuneration by 5,6% and rent payments by 5,5%.
The cash flow of the farmers for the period April 2014 to March 2015 increased by 33,4%, to R80 519 million,
from R60 351 million in the previous period.
Conclusion
The gross income of the farmers increased by 13,2%, which can be attributed mainly to higher production
levels of maize and oilseeds during 2014, as well as increases in the production of some horticultural and
animal products. In addition, prices of winter grains and horticultural and animal products also increased.

FRESH PRODUCE MARKETS OVERVIEW
FRESH MARKET STATISTICS AND GRAPHIC PRESENTATION OF SEASONAL FLUCTUATIONS IN
QUANTITIES AND PRICES OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES SOLD ON THE MAJOR FRESH
PRODUCE MARKETS
The purpose of this overview is to show the short-term price and volume trends (seasonal fluctuations) of
various types of fruit and vegetables sold on the major fresh produce markets and to make comparisons
between markets.
Market prices are determined by the interaction between supply and demand, which is influenced by
various factors. Supply factors include climate, seasonal production, perishability of products, the reaction
of producers to prices realised in preceding periods, etc. Demand factors include consumer preferences,
substitution between products, and per capita income. Therefore, the seasonal pattern of quantities sold
and prices realised may differ considerably among the various markets.
The graphs in this overview depict the trends for fruit and vegetables sold on the Durban Fresh Produce
Market and give an indication of the variations in monthly volumes sold and prices received, based on the
average for the 5-year period 2010 to 2014.
Detailed information regarding the specific varieties of fruit and vegetables sold on the markets is available
on request from:

Interesting vegetable: Broccoli
The word broccoli is derived from the Italian plural of broccolo, which means "the flowering crest of a
cabbage" and is the diminutive form of brocco, meaning "small nail" or "sprout”.
Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family, whose large, flowering head is eaten as a
vegetable.
Scientific name: Brassica oleracea var. Italica
Common names: broccoli; cauliflower
Origin: Broccoli is a cultivar of wild cabbage. The wild cabbage originated along the northern and western
coasts of the Mediterranean, where it was apparently domesticated thousands of years ago. That
domesticated cabbage was eventually bred into widely different cultivars, including broccoli, cauliflower,
cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, and Brussels sprout, all of which remain within the same species.
Broccoli was an Italian vegetable, as its name suggests, long before it was eaten elsewhere. It was first
mentioned in France in 1560, but in 1724 broccoli was still unfamiliar in England.
Broccoli was first introduced to the United States by Italian immigrants, but did not become widely known
there until the 1920s.
Description: Broccoli, Brassica oleracea, is an herbaceous annual or biennial grown for its edible flower
heads, which are used as a vegetable. The broccoli plant has a thick green stalk, or stem, which gives
rise to thick, leathery, oblong leaves, which are grey-blue to green in colour.
The plant produces large branching green flower heads covered with numerous white or yellow flowers.
Broccoli can be annual or biennial, depending on the variety, and can grow to 1 m in height. Broccoli may
also be referred to as sprouting broccoli.
There are three commonly grown types of broccoli:
Calabrese broccoli, often referred to simply as "broccoli". It has large (10 to 20 cm) green heads and thick
stalks. It is a cool-weather annual crop.
Sprouting broccoli has a larger number of heads, with many thin stalks.

Purple cauliflower is a type of broccoli sold in southern Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. It has a head
shaped like cauliflower, but consists of tiny flower buds. It sometimes has a purple cast to the tips of the
flower buds.
Cultivation: Broccoli is a cool-weather plant like cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Broccoli
plants will not tolerate hot weather, but will immediately "go to flower" (which means you won't enjoy
eating it!)
It prefers daytime high temperatures of 10-21 °C. If the winter temperature does not go below -7 °C, it can
be planted in the fall and will be ready to mature in the cooler weather of spring and early summer.
Nutritional value: Broccoli is high in vitamin C and dietary fibre. It also contains multiple nutrients with
potent anticancer properties, such as diindolylmethane and small amounts of selenium.
The 3,3'-Diindolylmethane found in broccoli is a potent modulator of the innate immune response system ,
with antiviral, antibacterial and anticancer activity.
Broccoli also contains the compound glucoraphanin, which can be processed into an anticancer
compound sulforaphane, though the anticancer benefits of broccoli are greatly reduced if the vegetable is
boiled. Broccoli is also an excellent source of indole-3-carbinol, a chemical which boosts DNA repair in
cells and appears to block the growth of cancer cells.
Health benefits
Cancer prevention: Broccoli shares these cancer fighting, immune boosting properties with other
cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and cabbage.
Cholesterol reduction: Like many whole foods, broccoli is packed with soluble fibre that draws
cholesterol out of your body.

Reducing allergic reaction and inflammation: Research has shown the ability of kaempferol to lessen
the impact of allergy-related substances on our bodies. Broccoli even has significant amounts of
omega-3 fatty acids, which are well known as anti-inflammatory acids.
Powerful antioxidant: Of all the cruciferous vegetables, broccoli stands out as the most concentrated
source of vitamin C, plus the flavonoids necessary for vitamin C to recycle effectively. Other powerful
antioxidants that are also concentrated in broccoli are the carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and betacarotene.
Bone health: Broccoli contains high levels of calcium and vitamin K, both of which are important for
bone health and prevention of osteoporosis.
Heart health: The anti-inflammatory properties of sulforaphane, one of the isothiocyanates in
broccoli, may be able to prevent (or even reverse) some of the damage to blood vessel linings that
can be caused by inflammation due to chronic blood sugar problems.
Dietary aid: Broccoli is a good carb and is high in fibre, which aids in digestion, prevents
constipation, maintains low blood sugar, and curbs overeating.
Culinary uses: Broccoli can be steamed and served chilled in salads. Combine with a vinaigrette dressing
or a French dressing for healthy salads. Broccoli is used in many cuisines as an accompaniment to main
courses like braised or grilled meats, etc. Broccoli just sautéed in olive oil or butter, garlic and fresh herbs
is a simple yet healthy accompaniment to dishes. Broccoli goes well with other ingredients like baby corn,
mushrooms, etc.
Use this combination in stir fries, in pastas or even pizzas. Combine broccoli, baby corn, spinach and
other vegetables of your choice, cook in a thick creamy white sauce or red sauce. Pour in a baking dish,
garnish with cheese and bake to make au gratins. You can also use lasagne sheets in this recipe.
