DESCRIPTION OF THE INDUSTRY

The contribution of milk production in South Africa makes approximately 0.5% to the world milk production. There are four major dairy breeds in South Africa namely, Holstein, Jersey, Guernsey and Ayrshire. The industry comprises of number of different economic activities and significant differences exist between farming methods and processing of dairy products. These activities involve the production and marketing of raw milk, pasteurized milk and cream, fermented milk, long-life milk and cream, yoghurt, cheese and its by-product whey, milk powder, sweetened and unsweetened concentrated milk, butter and butter oil (ghee).

The gross value of production for milk is dependent on the quantity produced and prices received by producers. Figure 1 indicates that the gross value of fresh milk has been moving at an increasing rate and reached its peak of R 9.5 million during 2009/10 and decreased by 4.3% in 2010/11. The average gross value of milk produced amounted to R 6.8 million for the past ten years. Although Figure 1 shows a slight decrease in 2010/11 there is still a drastic increase of 114% relative 2001/02. 1.1.

Milk production areas

The coastal areas are more suitable areas for milk production because of mild temperatures as well as good rainfall ensuring good quality natural and artificial pastures. The inland production areas are generally climatically less favourable for milk production. Dairy farming in these areas necessitate intensive and high cost feedlot production systems. Figure 2 shows percentage contribution of provinces to milk production in South Africa in 2011.

Western Cape contributed 27% of the total milk produced in South Africa followed by Eastern Cape and KwaZulu–Natal which took up 24% each; Free State contributed 13%; North–West 5%; Mpumalanga 4%, Gauteng, Northern Cape and Limpopo shared the 3% 1.2.

Production trends

Over the past ten years the number of milk production and dairy cows has been fluctuating but there is a slight increase of 7% and 14% respectively. This may be due to the uncertainty of the milk industry.

Employment

The South African dairy industry is important to the job market with over 4 000 milk producers employing 60 000 farm workers and providing 40 000 people with indirect jobs within the value chain like milk processing and milling industry. 2.

MARKET STRUCTURE

The South African dairy market is divided into 60% liquid and 40% concentrated products. Pasteurized liquid milk and UHT milk are the major liquid products, while hard and semi cheese is the major concentrated product. Different types in each category are shown in Figure 4 and 5. Figure 4: Liquid milk products Flavoured Milk 2%

Maas & Buttermilk 5% Yoghurt 13%

Pasteurised Milk 52% UHT 28%

Source: MPO

Figure 4 shows that pasteurized milk has the highest percentages of 52 followed by UHT (long life) by 28; yoghurt by 13; mass & buttermilk by 5 percent. Flavoured milk commanded the lowest market share of liquid milk with 2% share.

Figure 6 indicates that milk price increased from 2001/02 to 2003/04 and declined from 2004/05 to 2006/07 before a sharp increase from 2007/8 to 2009/10. The period 2004/05 – 2005/06 experienced the decline in prices as processors were positioning themselves for an expected increase in production but this led to a no growth in production that force processors to review their pricing. Consumption of milk has been fluctuating throughout the period under review and reached the peak of 2.7 million litres in 2004/05. Thereafter the consumption dropped drastically and improved in 2010/11. This was mainly due to under performance of the industry as farmers were withdrawing from the industry which was stricken by economic crisis.

2.2.

EXPORT AND IMPORT OF DAIRY PRODUCTS

Internationally the main milk producing regions are as follows: European Union 31%, New Zealand 30%, Australia 12%, USA 5% and the balance 22% are the cumulative total of the other regions in the world. Milk production in South Africa makes a very small contribution to the world production but in terms of the values of agricultural production in South Africa, it is the fifth largest agricultural industry in the world. Milk is produced much more cheaply in New Zealand and certain parts of the world than in South Africa. Imported milk from the EU and US is cheaper than in South Africa because of subsidies in these countries. Dairy companies in those countries are paid a guaranteed floor price for designated quantities of dairy products. Dairy companies in both countries are given a subsidy to bridge the gap between the supported domestic price and world market price. In the EU dairy farmers are paid subsidies for the use of certain inputs. The annual imports and exports of dairy products (in litres) from 2002 to 2011 are shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8 showed that South Africa became a net exporter of milk and dairy products during the periods 2002 to 2004 and 2008 to and became a net importer during 2005 and 2007. The increase in exports in 2008 to 2011 was due to the attractive international price of milk. 2.2.

EXPORTS

The dairy industry is also an important earner of foreign exchange. In 2011, exports of dairy products amounted to 44 million kilograms valued at over R 38 million. There was an increase of 24% in quantity and 53% in value of milk and dairy products exported to the world in 2011 compared to 2002. Figure 9 below shows the exports of dairy products from 2002 to 2011.

From Figure 9, exports of milk and dairy products experienced the lowest exports during the periods 2003 to 2007 before increasing substantially in 2008 and fluctuated during the following years. The decrease experienced in 2010 was due to the low production in the local market. Both quantity and value followed the same trend throughout the period under analysis.

Figure 13 illustrates that Gauteng province played a major role in the exports of milk and dairy products from 2002 to 2011 with the new peak value of R 382 million in 2011. This may be due to the fact that Gauteng is the main exit point to the SADC region as most of these exports were destined to SADC region. Western Cape Province commanded the second level of milk and dairy products exports followed by Mpumalanga and KwaZulu–Natal provinces while irregular exports were recorded in North West and Free State provinces.

Table 1 show that Gauteng province commands the greatest share of South African milk and dairy products’ exports followed by Western Cape province. This is in spite of the fact that Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces are the major milk producing provinces. This may be due to the fact that Gauteng and Western Cape provinces are the exit points for milk and dairy products to the SADC regions. Eastern Cape, KwaZulu–Natal, Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces reported regular exports of milk and dairy products. North West and Free State Provinces recorded intermittent export shares of milk and dairy products while there were no milk and dairy exports from Northern Cape Province.

Argentina and Ireland had an equal share of 11% of milk and dairy products exported to South Africa. 2.5. MARKETING CHANNELS IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY Milk production in South Africa is mainly by two sectors; Commercial Producers, and Small and Medium size Producers (see Figure 25). Commercial Producers sell milk to Dairy Processors. Small and medium size producers sell most of their milk directly to consumers and some to processors. Dairy Processors buys milk from farmers and import milk concentrates and produces dairy products for primary distribution to retailers, exports and for further processing.

EMPOWERMENT PLANS BY THE INDUSTRY

The following is a list of ventures/projects/programmes. Media releases were arranged for the dairy industry. The MPO, in conjunction with the provincial departments and municipalities and other relevant stakeholders were responsible for these empowerment plans. 3.1.

Successful ventures: Commercially viable.

Fort Hare Dairy Trust outside Alice in Eastern Cape started in 2004 and the first cow was milked in October 2007. The trust started between a partnership between 70 white farmers from the Tsitsikamma and the Underberg area – through their company Amandlelo Agri and University of Fort Hare. The University donated land and the cost of the project was R 22 million (R 2 million donated by University, R 5 million by Amandlelo and 15 million by Land Bank of which 7.5 million is loan). The farmers signed on an empowerment company Vuwa Investments which was given 35% stake in the company. The farmers kept 49 % and the rest was shared among 600 workers from the 70 dairy farms. Today Fort Hare Dairy Trust is a state-of-the-art commercial dairy farm. It has 800 cow rotary parlor that produces approximately 10 000 litres of milk a day much of which is supplied to Clover milk company. The farm that requires 600 tons of maize is sourced from farmers in the Alice area. Every year Amandlelo takes between 10 and 15 black interns. Some of them are sent to Fort Hare Dairy Trust. Farmers are rewarded with cattle as they pass through different stages. This will enable them to start their own full time dairy farming (Pretoria News, 17 June 2009). 3.2.

BARRIERS TO THE LEVEL OF PARTICIPATION BY THE EMERGING SECTOR The low profitability of milk production is the major barrier to entry for the emerging farmers. Access to credit facilities and financial package specially structured to their needs also plays a role. The volatility of the market and the effect of imports in depressing producer prices make it difficult for the emerging farmers to enter the industry. The dynamics of pricing in the dairy industry as well as the shelf life of the products is such that the farmers are squeezed to accept whatever price that the producers/processors offer them to dispose of their products. The market is dominated by 4 major processors in the milk industry making it extremely difficult for the emerging farmers to make inroads in the dairy processing industry.

They lack the necessary capital to invest in dairy equipment. The volume of milk produced may not be sufficient to invest in capital equipment. To form a cooperative would assist in increasing the volume through the collection of milk from several small farms. However the infrastructure and the underdeveloped roads and the great distances between farms could be inhibiting factors to go this route. Smaller processors tend to pay higher raw milk prices than the larger processors during periods of seasonal milk shortages because they lack the bargaining power that the larger processors have. During periods of surpluses the large producers dump their products in the retail sector at very low prices making it difficult for the small processors to compete. The big players in the market have facilities to convert raw milk into milk powder, butter, cheese or long-life milk which can be stored for longer periods of time. This facility is capital intensive and for the volumes of raw milk produced by the emerging farmers it is not really worth it in the long term. The farmers/producers lack the expertise, equipment to pasteurize milk. Transport and the quantity are major deterrents for small farmers to get their products to the big processors. The big processors/buyers find it not worth the effort to access these farmers due to the road infrastructure and small inconsistent and small volumes of milk produced. OPPORTUNITIES AND WEAKNESSES

Success in the dairy market depends on two factors namely: quality products and the support of processors. Successful advertising, exports and the development of new products are also important. Some consumers like to buy fresh milk direct from producers because the origin of the milk is known. A strong relationship can be built between producer/s and consumers. Producers can sell direct to small cafes and street vendors shortening the value chain cutting out some transaction costs resulting in an increase in profits. This channel will require higher capital and involves more risks. A sound relationship needs to be in place between the sellers and the buyers. Since deregulation the number of smaller milk producers has increased dramatically and processors are willing to receive milk from the smaller producers. However this supply channel will require a high level control measures on hygiene and the producer has to comply with the required standards. High demand of value added products such as sour milk, yoghurt and cheese can be a market to be explored. However to go this route would require high investment, market knowledge and the necessary training. Packaging to promote brand identification can open an opportunity but this would require market research and knowledge, training and investment. 6.

Table 22 shows that during 2011, South Africa exported a total of 15 309 tons of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) at an average value of US$ 1 048/unit. South Africa exported greater quantities of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) to Zimbabwe, Mozambique and United Republic of Tanzania. The greatest share of South African milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) exports were destined to Zimbabwe which commanded 55.6% share during the year 2011 followed by Mozambique (23.3 %) then United Republic of Tanzania by 10%. South Africa’s milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) exports increased by 44% in value and 22% in quantity between the periods 2007 and 2011. During the same period, exports of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) to Zimbabwe increased by 223% in value while quantity increased by 264%; and Mozambique increased by 25% in value and decreased by 6% in quantity. Between the periods 2010 and 2011 South Africa’s exports of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) increased by 23% in value. During the same period, Zimbabwe and Mozambique increased by 41% and 2% respectively in value.

Figure 26 illustrates that South Africa’s exports of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) represent 0.26% of world exports. Between 2007 and 2011 South Africa’s milk and cream, not concentrated or sweetened to Kenya, Democratic republic of Congo, United Republic of Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria, Angola, Comoros and Zimbabwe were growing at a rate that is less than their import growth from the world. This means that South Africa is losing the market in the mentioned countries. During the same period, South Africa’s milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) exports to Uganda, Mauritius, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi and Saint Helena were growing at a rate that is greater than their imports from the rest of the world. Therefore South Africa is gaining the market share in those countries. Mauritius and Zambia represent loses in the declining market and other countries represent gains the dynamic market. Uganda had the most growing demand for the South African milk and cream not concentrated nor sweetened during the periods 2007 to 2011. Annual growth of exports to Uganda was 74% followed at a distant by Malawi by 31%.

South Africa is currently exporting large quantities of milk and cream, not concentrated nor sweetened to Zimbabwe, and it has a market share on 55.64% of South Africa’s exports (see Figure 27). Zimbabwe’s imports from the world is greater than its imports from South Africa, therefore South Africa can still penetrate Zimbabwe’s import market because its annual growth is also attractive (242%). If South Africa wishes to diversify its exports of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened), Kenya is the smallest market but attractive for market development because its annual imports growth is growing at a rate of 88% respectively.

Figure 28 illustrates that South Africa’s exports of milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened) represent 0.14% of world exports. Between 2007 and 2011 South Africa’s milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened) was losing the market share in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya, Malawi, Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Gabon, United Republic of Tanzania, Mozambique and Mauritius because imports from South African were growing at a rate that is less than their imports growth from the world. During the same periods, South Africa was gaining the market shares of milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened) exports to Uganda, Saint Helena, Cyprus, Congo and Ghana because imports from South African were growing at a rate that is greater than their imports from the rest of the world. Countries which has the most growing in demand of South African Milk and Cream (Concentrated and sweetened) are Ghana and Uganda with the annual exports growth of 81% and 79% respectively to the mentioned countries.

Most of South African milk and cream (concentrated and sweetened) destined in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, but these countries’ imported more from the rest of the world than from South Africa (see Figure 29). Therefore South Africa can either penetrated their import market or diversify to United Arab Emirates because it is the biggest market of milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened) in the world.

Table 24 shows that during 2011 South Africa exported a total of 9 216 tons of buttermilk and yoghurt at an average value of US$ 1 938/unit. South Africa exported greater quantities of buttermilk and yoghurt to Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The greatest share of South African buttermilk and yoghurt exports were destined to Angola which commanded 46.9% share during the year 2011 followed by Mozambique with 30.2% then Zimbabwe by12.2%). South Africa’s buttermilk and yoghurt exports have increased by 24% in value and 16% in quantity between the periods 2007 and 2011. During the same period, exports of buttermilk and yoghurt to Angola increased by 23% in value and 26% in quantity; Mozambique increased by 29% each in value and 8% in quantity. Zimbabwe experience highest increases of 54% in value and 81% in quantity. Between the periods 2010 and 2011, South Africa’s exports of buttermilk and yoghurt decreased by 80% in value. During the same period, Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe increased by 267%, 17% and 111% respectively in value.

Figure 30 illustrates that South Africa’s exports of buttermilk and yoghurt represent 0.44% of the world exports. Between 2007 and 2011 South Africa was losing the market share of buttermilk and yoghurt in Malawi, Seychelles, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Maldives, Mozambique and Mauritius because its exports were growing at a rate that is less than their import growth from the rest of the world. During the same periods, South Africa’s buttermilk and yoghurt exports to Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Saint Helena, Zambia and Angola were growing at a rate that is greater than their imports from the rest of the world. Therefore South Africa is gaining the market share in these countries. The fastest growing market of South African buttermilk and Yogurt exist in Zambia with the annual South African exports of 61% and its annual import growth is at 59%.

South Africa’s exports of buttermilk and yoghurt are dominant in Angola but if South Africa wishes to diversify its exports the most attractive market will be Togo (see Figure 31). Even though its world market share is at 0.1%, its annual growth of 135% makes it very attractive. The smallest possible market is at Zambia. South Africa is currently exporting 2.82% of buttermilk and yogurt to Zambia and its annual import growth is at 59%. South Africa might therefore penetrate the Zambian import marker of buttermilk and yogurt.

Figure 32 illustrates that that South Africa’s exports of whey and natural milk products represent 0.04% of the world exports. Between 2007 and 2011 South Africa’s whey and natural milk products exported to New Zealand, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia and Zimbabwe were growing at a rate that is less than their import growth from the rest of the world. Therefore, South Africa is losing the market share in the mentioned countries. During the same period, South Africa is gaining the market shares of whey and natural milk products exports in Kenya, Japan, Malawi, Zambia and Mauritius because their imports from South Africa were growing at a rate that is greater than their imports from the rest of the world. Zambia’s annual demand growth of South African whey and natural milk products is the highest at 131% rate.

The chart illustrates that Japan is the biggest importer of South African whey and natural milk products with a world market share of 3% (see Figure 33). The biggest market exists in China with the world import share of 12.5%. South Africa might look on developing a new market in China especially that its annual import growth is at 13%. The fastest growing markets although small exist in Seychelles and Zimbabwe. Seychelles’s annual import growth is at 79% followed by Zimbabwe by 69%. Therefore these two markets might be the most attractive markets for South Africa to diversify to

Figure 34 illustrates that that South Africa’s exports of butter and other fats and oils represent 0.06% of the world exports. Between 2007 and 2011 South Africa’s butter and other fats exported to Zimbabwe, Kenya, Nigeria, Australia, Uganda, Ghana, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Malawi and Angola were growing at a rate that is less than their export growth to the rest of the world. During the same period, South Africa’s butter and other fats exports to Saint Helena, Zambia, Mauritius, United Republic of Tanzania and Mozambique were growing at a rate that is greater than their exports to the rest of the world. United republic of Tanzania represent losses in the declining market while Mauritius, Zambia, Saint Helena and Mozambique represent gains in the dynamic market. The most growing demand of butter and other fats and oils exist in Zimbabwe with South African exports growing at 52% per annum during the periods 2007 to 2011.

Figure 35 illustrates that South Africa is currently exporting butter and other fats to Mozambique, Mauritius and Zimbabwe but if South Africa has to diversify its export market, the most growing market exist in China with an annual imports growth of 44%. South Africa can develop into China’s import market since is not exporting butter and other fats to this market. The biggest market exist in Germany with a world share of 9.6% buts its annual imports growth has decreased by 3%, therefore it will be difficult for South Africa to penetrate this market.

Table 27 shows that during 2011 South Africa exported a total of 2 304 tons of cheese and curd at an average value of US$ 4 882/unit. South Africa exported greater quantities of cheese and curd to Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Zambia. The greatest share of South African cheese and curd exports were destined to Mozambique which commanded 30.7% share during the year 2011 followed by Zimbabwe with 27.1% then Zambia by 20.6%. South Africa’s cheese and curd exports increased by 28% in value and 23% in quantity between the periods 2007 and 2011. During the same period, exports of cheese and curd to Mozambique increased by 18% in value and 14% in quantity; and Zimbabwe increased in value and quantity by 153% and 135% respectively. Between the periods 2010 and 2011, South Africa’s exports of cheese and curd increased by 7% in value. During the same period, Mozambique decreased by 15% and Zimbabwe increased by 66%.

Figure 36 illustrates that that South Africa’s exports of cheese and curd represent 0.04% of the world exports. Between 2007 and 2011 South Africa s losing the market share of cheese and curd exports to Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Seychelles, Uganda, Saint Helena and Malawi because its exports were growing at a rate that is less than their import growth from the rest of the world. During the same period, South Africa is gaining the market share of cheese and curd exports to Ghana, Zambia, Nigeria, Mauritius, Mozambique, Angola, Chad, Zimbabwe, and United Republic of Tanzania were growing at a rate that is greater than their imports from the rest of the world. This means South Africa is gaining the market shares in the dynamic market (Ghana, Zambia, Nigeria, Mauritius, Mozambique, Angola, Chad and Zimbabwe) and losing in the declining market (United Republic of Tanzania).

Figure 37 shows that Saudi Arabia is the world’s greatest importer of cheese and curd, but is not the main importer of South African cheese and curd. Its share in South African market is 1.8% and its annual import growth is 8%. This makes it impossible for South Africa to develop a market in Greece. Zimbabwe although is a small market of cheese and curd but it is the most attractive market for South Africa due to its annual growth of 102%. Currently South Africa exports 27.1% of cheese and curd to Zimbabwe therefore SA can penetrated the Zimbabwean import market.

Table 28 shows that during 2011 South Africa imported a total of 8 306 tons of milk and cream (not concentrated nor sweetened), at an average value of US$ 780/unit. South Africa imported greater quantities of milk and cream, (not concentrated or sweetened) from Uruguay, Argentina and Germany. The greatest share of South African milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) imports originated from Uruguay which commanded 58.3% share during the year 2011 followed by Argentina with 35.8% then follow Germany by 3.5%. South Africa’s milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) imports decreased by 5% in value and 11% in quantity between the periods 2007 and 2011. During the same period, imports of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) from Uruguay increased by 16% in value and 2% in quantity; and Argentina decreased in value and quantity by 9% and 13% respectively. Between the periods 2010 and 2011, South Africa’s imports of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) decreased by 15% in value. During the same period imports of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) from Uruguay to South Africa increased by 96% and Argentina’s imports decreased by 57% in value.

Figure 38 illustrates that South Africa’s imports between 2007 and 2011 represent 0.08% of the world’s imports of milk and cream, not concentrated or sweetened. Imports from Germany, Netherlands, Argentina and United Kingdom (UK) were growing at a rate that is less than their export growth to the rest of the world. This means that South Africa is losing the market share in the mentioned countries. During the same period, South Africa is gaining the market share of milk and cream, not concentrated or sweetened imports from Uruguay because South Africa’s import growth were growing at a rate that is greater than Uruguay’s exports to the rest of the world. The most competitive market is Netherlands because its annual export growth was at 14% during the periods 2007 to 2011, but the biggest market exists in Germany with the world share of 20.6%.

Figure 39 illustrates that Germany is not a big supplier of South Africa’s market for milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) but it is the world’s greatest exporter of milk and cream (not concentrated or sweetened) over the period 2007 to 2011. Even though Germany is the main supplier (20.6% share of world’s exports), its annual growth of 2% shows that it not easy for South Africa to penetrate its market. South Africa can diversify to Kenya which has the lowest world’s exports share of 0.1% but its annual growth is at 24%. South Africa can therefore penetrate this market if it wishes to diversify.

Figure 41 illustrates that New Zealand is not a big supplier of South Africa’s market for milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened) but it is the main world exporter and its market was growing (15%) over the period 2007 to 2011. New Zealand is therefore the biggest prospective supplier for South Africa’s milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened). The chart also shows that Nigeria has experienced highest annual exports growth rate of 116% during 2007 to 2011. It represents a small possible supplier for South Africa’s milk and cream (concentrated or sweetened).

South Africa imported greater quantities of milk and cream, (concentrated or sweetened) from New Zealand, France and Ireland. The greatest share of South African buttermilk and yoghurt imports originated from New Zealand which commanded 44.9% share during the year 2011 followed by France by 16.5% and Irelands by 10.1%. South Africa’s buttermilk and yoghurt imports increased by 8% in value and declined by 14% in quantity between the periods 2007 and 2011. During the same period, imports of buttermilk and yoghurt from New Zealand also increased by 19% in value and 17% in quantity; and imports from France increased by 31% in quantity during the same periods. Between the periods 2010 and 2011, South Africa’s imports of buttermilk and yoghurt increased by 72% in value.

Germany is the biggest supplier of for buttermilk and yoghurt and has a share of 3.49% of South African’s imports (see Figure 43). Germany has an annual export growth of 0% which is a limiting factor for South Africa to penetrate the market. South Africa can diversify to the fastest growing markets of buttermilk and yoghurt which are Belarus and Ghana. They both experienced an annual export growth of 21% each. .

Figure 44 illustrates that between 2007 and 2011 South Africa’s whey and natural milk products imported from Netherlands, Belgium, Argentina, United Kingdom and Australia were growing at a rate that is less than their export growth to the rest of the world. During the same period, South Africa’s whey and natural milk products imported from United States of America (USA), New Zealand, Germany, Denmark, Poland France and Ireland were growing at a rate that is greater than their exports to the rest of the world. The most competitive supplier of whey and natural milk products is USA which has a world‘s exports share of 15.2% followed by Germany by 14.6% and France by 12.9%. South Africa’s import growth from these countries were greater than their export growth to the world.

South Africa is already importing from the biggest exporters of whey and natural milk products which are USA and Germany. USA has a world market share of 15.2% while Germany has a world market share of 14.6% during 2011. They have a share of South Africa’s imports of 5.89% and 11.62% respectively. South Africa can look on penetrating the market of these biggest markets or diversify to Republic of Korea which has an annual export growth rate of 29%. This is one of the smallest markets of whey and natural milk products with a world share of 0.2% but it is the fastest growing market. South Africa can therefore develop a new market in the Republic of Korea because currently it is not importing to South Africa.
