Manufacture of Bakery Products in South Africa 2017
NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Manufacture of Bakery Products :
According to the South African Chamber of Baking, total bread production increased in 2016 from 171 million loaves baked in January 2016 to 182 million loaves in December 2016. This was as a result of consumers replacing maize meal with bread because of the higher price of maize products brought about by severe drought and the weaker South African rand. Stakeholders believe this might change, however, as the recent bumper maize crop has now resulted in cheaper maize products. The current drought in the Western Cape where more than 60% of South Africa's wheat is planted has also meant that approximately 51% of the country's wheat is imported at import parity prices.
