Export volume of maize and maize products in South Africa 2000-2023
Between 2015 to 2016, maize exports dropped by approximately 60 percent compared to 2014 and 2015, which can be attributed to a drought causing South Africa to import maize. The reason for the most recent drop in 2019/2020 can also be linked to dry weather.
