5 SAMPLE FROM REPORT: GLOBAL WHEAT SUPPLY AND PRODUCTION World Wheat Production (Million Tons) 10/11 11/12 12/13 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 18/19 19/20 World Wheat Production (mt) Area expansion in the CIS moderately exceeds the pace of other major growing regions, bolstered by rising local feed needs as well as export demand. After falling by about 3% in 2015/16 from the high level in the previous season, average world yields resume an upward trend in the remainder of the period, increasing by roughly 1% annually. Together with a small rise in area, production is expected to surpass the current year s record by 2018/19 and reach 732m t in the following season, a 2% net gain compared with 2014/15. Source: After a fall in 2015/16, world production to move higher, but gains limited by competition for land from other crops. Although autumn planting conditions have been largely favourable, the 2015/16 world wheat crop is projected to drop below the record levels of the past two seasons. A small increase in harvested areas is assumed, mainly in the US and Argentina, but average yields may not be as good, decreasing overall output. Thereafter, only a modest gain in world planted area is anticipated, constrained by competition from other crops, especially maize and oilseeds.

6 SAMPLE FROM REPORT: LOCAL MAIZE DEMAND AND CONSUMPTION Domestic Maize Consumption ( 000 t) 0 12/13 13/14 14/15 Human Animal Other It is projected that marginal increases in demand will continue in the 2014/15 MY (Market Year), as South Africa s economy is expected to grow by less than three percent in 2015, due to labour unrest, upward inflationary pressures and electricity constraints. The commercial demand for corn for food increased on average by 2% per year the past 15 years, while the commercial demand for feed corn increased on average by 3% per year. Source: %20Republic%20of_ pdf The total local demand for maize is projected at tons. This includes tons processed for human consumption, tons processed for animal and industrial consumption, tons for gristing, tons withdrawn by producers, tons released to end-consumers, a balancing figure of tons (net receipts and net dispatches) and a deficit of tons. 6

7 R per 10kg SAMPLE FROM REPORT: LOCAL AVERAGE WEEKLY POTATO PRICES Local Average Weekly Potato Price all markets and all classes 5 0 J J F F MM A A MM J J J J A A S S O O N N D D Prices may still experience further upward pressure over the short term. January till end of March: Prices were under downward pressure. The rainfall experienced during the last week of March resulted in less volumes going to the markets which pushed prices higher. Normally after Easter prices will decline slightly. Thereafter prices will move sideways over the medium term. April/May/June: average prices will be higher than 2014 as a result of drought. Factors that could play a role in the market place 2015: Rainfall can result in upward pressure on prices when producers cannot lift potatoes see last week of March. Lower temperatures may improve the quality of potatoes (better keeping ability) resulting in higher prices. Source: 7

8 SAMPLE FROM REPORT: GLOBAL RICE SUPPLY AND PRODUCTION World Rice Production 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 18/19 19/20 Production volume (million tons) Rice Production by Country (main producers) 9% 10% 8% 5% 28% 40% China India Indonesia Bangladesh Vietnam Thailand A poor seasonal output in Asia is mainly behind a 1.6 million ton decline in global paddy production in Production shortfall remains forecast to arise from cuts in Asia, where various important producers have been negatively impacted by a combination of late and insufficient rains and/or floods. Global rice output is projected to trend higher in the five years to 2019/20, but the rate of increase will be slower than in the past amid likely limited growth in China. Growth will moderate significantly owing to an expected steep drop in China s purchases of white rice. Thailand is likely to remain the world s top exporter throughout the medium term. Source: 8

9 SAMPLE FROM REPORT: WOOLWORTHS FOOTPRINT AND EXPANSION Woolworths Food has 302 stores throughout South Africa, 60 Engen stores and 25 stores in the rest of Africa. Woolworths Holdings Limited acquired one of the oldest and most prominent department stores in Australia, David Jones. The acquisition is expected to create significant value for a wide range of stakeholders. Woolworths has recently completed the process of buying back franchise stores in Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland and Ghana. Through this acquisition they have achieved critical mass on which they can leverage processes and systems within their supply chain. Woolworths vs Market Growth (3mma) Woolworths has a vision to grow their already meaningful business in Africa to become a more substantial contributor to the group sales and profit Woolworths intends to open 8 new stores in the next three years and will aggressively seek new space and invest capital in store extensions and modernisations Woolworths price movement CPI (Food & Non-alcoholic Beverages) Woolworths sales growth (3mma) Growth in Nielsen Defined Basket (3mma) Source:

10 SAMPLE FROM REPORT: LOCAL BREAD INDUSTRY/CONSUMER TRENDS TRENDS Packaged/industrial bread in South Africa is experiencing a decline in volume sales in comparison to Rising input costs have resulted in prices rising above the rate of inflation, thus hampering consumer demand. Some price-sensitive consumers are reverting back to products that offer value for money, such as mealie meal. Mega-trend: Manifestation example: Mainstream or niche: Examples of associated price premiums: Between January 2014 and January 2015; Health High fibre Low GI Mainstream +65% above Domestic wheat price up 36.32% Indulgence Commercial farm bread Seed bread Niche +105% above Brown bread 700g price up 8.66% Convenience Sliced, prepacked bread Mainstream +37% above White bread 700g price up 8.87% COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE Pioneer Foods continues to lead the category in 2014 with a value share of 26%, closely followed by Tiger Consumer Brands. Artisanal products hold third position overall with a value share of 18%. Premier Foods ranks fourth with a 15% share. The positions of the three leading manufacturers can be attributed to the strength of their respective packaged/industrial bread brands, namely Sasko, Albany and Blue Ribbon. PROSPECTS Health is a key trend within baked goods in South Africa. Consumers, and particularly those in middle to upper LSM groups, will pay higher prices for products that offer health benefits such as a low GI (Glycaemic Index), a high fibre content or fortification with added vitamins. However, such products also carry a higher unit price than white bread which is why, combined with a taste preference for white bread, lower LSM groups continue to support white bread.
