South Africa is expected to record a modest decline in corn production in the MY 2025/26.

According to the first official summer crop estimate released by the government's Crop Estimates Committee (CEC), the harvest is projected at 16.13 million tonnes, about 3% below the 16.65 million tonnes produced in the 2024/25 season.

The lower output reflects uneven yield performance across key growing regions. Weather conditions in several major producing provinces have put early pressure on crops, although overall production remains relatively strong compared with historical averages.

The forecast includes 8.51 million tonnes of white corn, mainly used for human consumption, and 7.62 million tonnes of yellow corn, primarily destined for the animal feed sector. This highlights the crop's continued importance for both food markets and livestock production.
