1. DESCRIPTION OF THE INDUSTRY

Dry beans are a very good source of plant proteins, complex carbohydrates, soluble and insoluble dietary fibers have a low salt and fat content and no cholesterol. They also prevent degenerative western illnesses. Research results also indicate that with regular use, beans reduce cholesterol. The composition of cooked dry beans is shown in Figure 1 below.

In South Africa, three types of beans are mainly produced, namely Red Speckled beans, Small White canning beans and Large White Kidney beans. The Red Speckled beans command the biggest market share and are mainly sold in retail quantities in the supermarkets for preparation at home. Small White canning beans are mainly used for canning purposes and because of the increasing consumer demand for convenience foods, there is a growing market for these beans. Large White Kidney beans are mainly used for retail packaging and to a lesser extent for canning purposes. Other locally produced bean types such as the Haricot beans have a very limited domestic market.

Dry beans are an ideal rotation crop and research has shown that dry beans ensure higher yields in a crop rotation system. From an economic perspective it makes sense to plant beans in a crop rotational system with maize on suitable soils. The recommendation is one year of dry beans out of every three to four years in a crop rotation system.

The contribution of the dry bean industry to the gross value of agricultural production is depicted in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2 indicates that the gross value of dry bean production increased slightly between the years 2000 and 2001. The lowest levels of dry bean industry’s contribution to the GVP were experienced during the year 2005 mainly as a result of lower dry bean producer prices. The GVP for soya bean industry increased continually between the years 2006 and 2009 in response to increasing producer prices as well as improved local production volumes.

1.1 PRODUCTION AREAS

Dry beans in South Africa are produced in the following areas: Mpumalanga/Gauteng (Middelburg, Nigel, Delmas and Ermelo), Free State (Bethlehem, Fouriesburg, Harrismith and Kroonstad), North West (Lichtenburg, Koster, and Brits), Limpopo (Thabazimbi, Koedoeskop), Kwazulu-Natal (Kokstad, Vryheid, Bergville, and Winterton) and Northern Cape (Kimberley, Douglas). Limpopo, North West, Free State, Kwazulu-Natal and Northern Cape are commercial production areas while the Lowveld in the Mpumalanga province and the Western Cape are seed production areas. The distribution of dry bean production in South Africa for the 2008/09 production season is shown in Figure 3 below which indicates that greater volumes of dry beans are produced in the Mpumalanga, Free State and Limpopo provinces. These are followed by Kwazulu-Natal and the Gauteng provinces.

1.2 PRODUCTION

It is estimated that there are roughly 1 200 dry bean producers in South Africa who produce an average of about 73 thousand tons of dry beans per annum. The number of hectares planted to beans is still not at a level where imports can be restricted to the essential consumption requirements. Hectares planted to dry beans have been fluctuating over the years with a peak in 2000/2001 production year. After that hectares planted to dry beans in the country fluctuated between 45 and 56 hectares between 2001 and 2008. A reasonable increase in the number of hectares planted to beans will only materialize once profitable producer prices are obtained for consecutive years, which can result in several new entrants to the industry. Furthermore, it needs to be considered that producers have limited planting capacity in respect of beans within their crop rotation system and thus there is therefore little possibility of unlimited expansion in bean plantings or the maintenance of larger plantings.

In terms of total production of dry beans, the trend over the period under review follows that of areas planted to dry beans. The largest volumes of dry beans harvested in the country was 104 thousand tons during the 2000/01 production season, after which a drastic decline in production occurred with fluctuations until the lowest volume of 44 thousand tons was produced during the 2006/07 production season, which then increased to almost 65 thousands tons in the 2007/08 production periods. The period under review closed with higher dry beans production volumes (74 thousand tons).

2. MARKET STRUCTURE

2.1 DOMESTIC MARKET

The industry has experienced fluctuations in producer prices over the past ten years as can be seen in Figure 4 below. The 2005 marketing season was characterized by two different price levels; from March to September 2005 the domestic crop was marketed in competition with very low priced imported Chinese beans and good quality, machine cleaned beans traded at prices below the R3 000/ton level.

However, from October 2005 it happened that the supply of local beans was depleted and as a result prices higher than R4 000 per ton were obtained for good quality machine cleaned beans at the farm gate. During the period under review, Large White Kidney Beans have always fetched higher prices in comparison to other types of beans. Additionally, the producer prices for all four types of dry beans have exhibited a continuous increase since 2004 with haricot beans fetching the lowest price. The highest prices for dry beans were attained between the years 2007 and 2008 mainly as a result of lower production volumes. Prices of all types of dry beans declined dramatically during the year 2009 following an increase in local production volumes.

Figure 5 confirms an earlier observation that during the entire period under review the domestic consumption of dry beans in South Africa far exceeded the domestic production. This situation became even more pronounced from the year 2001/02 until 2008/09.

2.2 ExPORTS

Approximately 25 000 tons (on average) of dry beans are exported annually to the neighbouring African countries (mainly Angola, Mozambique, Mauritius and Zimbabwe), where the demand for South African export beans is on the increase. The export of specific types of beans depends on the demand for the type concerned, coupled with the specific quality requirements. The Dry Bean Producers Organization has, during 2003 established an electronic trading platform for beans, known as Beanex. Through this marketing medium, beans are traded electronically on the internet. Participating sellers offer specific quantities of beans for sale and buyers select their purchases on the strength of digital photos and a digital grading certificate in respect of the consignment on offer.

2.3 IMPORTS

As a result of the present shortages of locally produced dry beans, imports are used to meet the ever increasing demand as shown in Figure 6 below. Shortages on the domestic consumer market have been supplemented by means of imports originating mainly from China (50%) since 2000. The rest of the imports originate from the United States of America, Brazil, Ethiopia and Canada.

Source: Agricultural Statistics

South Africa imports dry beans to an average of 75 000 tons per annum and the imports originates mainly from Asia, the Americas and Europe, while imports from Africa are at minimum level. In 2009, 1 300 tons of dry beans were exported which is lower compared to the amounts that were exported in 2007 and 2008. However, during the period under review the volume of dry beans exported from South Africa has never exceeded 20 000 tons. The volumes of dry bean imports from various regions are presented in Figure 7.

Between the years 2000 and 2002 imports of dry beans into South Africa originated mainly from the Americas. The imports from Asia rose in 2003 and then remained above imports from all regions until 2008. From 2004 the value of dry bean imports from the Americas declined below that from Asia while a peak in dry bean imports was experienced from Africa during 2006. The value of dry bean imports originating from Europe has been very low during the entire period under review, declining further to the lowest level during 2009.

Figure 8 indicates that in Eastern Asia, China has been the main exporter of dry beans to South Africa with a peak in the value of dry bean exports to SA experienced during 2003. From the year 2004 dry bean imports originating mainly from China declined substantially until the year 2009. Figure 8 further indicates that South Africa imported only smaller volumes of dry beans from Hong Kong during the year 2000 and again in 2009. It is also clear that South Africa imported lower volumes of dry beans from Eastern Asia in 2009 mainly as a result of larger local production volumes during the same year.

Source: Quantec Easy Data

Figure 9 indicates that, in the Americas, we import dry beans primarily from South American countries such as Argentina and Brazil with sporadic imports from Bolivia and Peru. The figure further indicates that dry bean imports from Argentina were at maximum level in 2000 and 2002 and declined substantially from 2003. Between the years 2004 and 2007 Brazil commanded the greatest share in dry bean exports from South America to South Africa. During the year 2008, the volume of dry beans imports from Brazil showed a decrease following that from Argentina and also to the level below value of imports from Chile. The imports from South America remained at lower levels during the year 2009.

From the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA), dry bean imports originated mainly from the United States with the volume of the imports having reached a peak in 2003 and then declined substantially to the lowest levels in 2005. The value of dry bean imports originating from Canada has been consistently low throughout the entire period under review with very low levels attained in 2008 and 2009.

In the African continent dry bean imports originates primarily from Eastern Africa followed by SADC and Western Africa. Between the years 2000 and 2001 the volume of dry bean imports originating from the SADC region was far greater that those from Eastern Africa. Dry bean imports from Eastern Africa surpassed those from the SADC region between 2002 and 2003. The value of dry bean imports originating from both the SADC and eastern African regions reached a peak in 2006 after a substantial decline in 2004 and 2005 owing mainly to increased imports from South America (Brazil). However, from the peak attained during 2006, imports value from both the Eastern Africa Rest and SADC begin to decline from the year 2007 until 2009 mainly as a result of improved local production levels. In General, the Eastern Africa region remained the major supplier of dry beans to South Africa over the period under analysis mainly due to the fact that this region is one of the world’s major dry beans producers and the leader in dry beans production in Africa.

In Eastern Africa Madagascar has been a consistent exporter of dry beans into South Africa between the periods 2000 and 2009. Ethiopia became a prominent exporter of dry beans to South Africa from 2002 until 2007 followed by Kenya with fractional volumes originating from Djibouti between 2003 and 2005. However, the level of dry beans imports from Madagascar in 2008 and 2009 showed an increase above imports originating from Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti

In the SADC region, South Africa has been importing dry beans primarily from Zimbabwe between the years 2000 and 2001 after which the volumes of dry bean imports originating from this country declined substantially until 2008 mainly due to the economic meltdown experienced in this country. With a decline in the volume of dry bean imports from Mozambique became a force to be reckoned with between the years 2002 and 2004 while dry beans were also imported from Zambia and Tanzania from 2005 to 2007. Figure 13 shows that between the periods 2006 and 2008, reasonable volumes of dry beans were imported from Malawi and the United Republic of Tanzania. Dry beans imports from SADC declined dramatically in 2009 mainly due to higher levels of local dry beans production.

Figure 14 clearly indicates that from Europe imports of dry beans originated mainly from the European Union having reached a peak in 2002, declining substantially in 2003 when dry bean imports from China entered the country at greater intensities. The dry bean imports originating from the European Union have shown a dramatic fluctuation throughout the period under view until very low levels were attained during the period of 2008 and 2009.

From the European Union, dry bean imports originated consistently from the Netherlands while Italy also exported dry beans into South Africa between 2000 and 2003 at volumes lower than 500 tons per annum. The volumes of dry beans imports from other EU countries were very low and erratic throughout the period under analysis.

2.4 PROCESSINg

Dry beans are available to the consumer either as packed dry beans or as processed dry beans. Red speckled, Large White Kidney and Small White beans are canned in a saline solution and can also be canned in tomato sauce (baked beans). The difference between beans canned in tomato sauce and those canned in a saline solution (brine) is that the latter can be used for any recipe, including puddings, cake, etc.

According to industry experts, the canning side of the market is in the region of 15 000 to 17 000 tons per annum. This implies that pre-packers use around 100 000 tons of beans per annum. A small percentage (approximately 15%) of the local bean crop is used for canning of beans. Canners try to meet their requirements locally, but have, in the past, bought relatively large quantities on the international market. The largest canner in SA, which cans more than 50% of the beans, is situated in Gauteng. Other canners are found in the Western Cape, Kwazulu-Natal and Mpumalanga.

Dry bean producers can sell their product directly to the trade or they can sell to the first point of sale in the marketing value chain such as wholesalers and co-operatives. Beans can be sold to packers or processors and if they are unbranded they are sold in the informal market through spaza shops and hawkers. If they are branded they get to the formal market through the chain stores such as Pick’n Pay, Spar, Hyperama, Woolworths and Checkers/Shoprite. Split beans can also be exported to niche markets in the form of flour and the bread and pasta industry make use of it.

As mentioned earlier on the Dry Bean Producers’ Organization has established an electronic trading platform for beans known as Beanex. Through this marketing medium beans are traded electronically on the internet. Sellers, who participate offer specific quantities of beans for sale and buyers, select their purchases on the strength of the digital grading certificate and digital photos of the consignments that are on offer

Table 3there are no tariff barriers for South African dry bean exports to Zimbabwe, DRC and Angola. South Africa has to pay tariffs of between 5% and 10% when exporting dry beans to Zimbabwe. On the other hand DRC and Angola levies a duty of 10% and 15% on their imports of dry beans originating from South Africa. South Africa does not have to pay duties to export dry beans to countries such as Zambia, Mozambique and Mauritius due to a SADC free trade agreement.

In order to fulfill South Africa’s commitment under the World Trade Organization: Marrakesh Agreement regarding market access, the Directorate Marketing issues rebate permits under the Market Access rebate scheme to importers of dried beans for a total of 11 063 tons (for 2011) per annum. The import arrangements for importers of dried beans are as in Table 4.

Figure 14 indicates that South Africa imports dry beans from countries such as Italy, Chile, Tanzania, USA and Hong Kong. South Africa’s imports of dry beans from countries such as USA, China, Zimbabwe, Netherlands and Mozambique have been declining between the years 2005 and 2009 while those from Hong Kong, Tanzania and Chile increased drastically. The latter countries’ dry bean exports to South Africa have increased faster than their total exports to the rest of the world.

Table 5 and Figure 15 show that during 2009, South Africa exported a total of 965 tons of dried beans to the world. It further indicates that South Africa’s dry bean exports to the rest of the world have declined by 13% in value and experienced an increase of 1% in volume. South Africa’s dry beans exports during the year 2009 were destined mainly for countries such as Zimbabwe, Mozambique, France, Mauritius, Zambia and Angola. Most dry beans exports from South Africa in 2009 were destined for the market in Zimbabwe (73.10%) followed by Mozambique (11.6%), France (7.90%) and Mauritius (2.2%). Only 0.6% of South Africa’s total dry beans exports went to Angola.

6. ORgANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS

6.1 OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENgES

¡ The demand for South African export beans to the neighboring African countries is on the increase. Annually South Africa exports on average 25 000 tons of dry beans to these countries.

¡ There is a short term domestic market potential for the planting of up to 90 000 ha to dry beans in South Africa. During the 2005/06 production season, approximately 60 000 hectares have been planted to dry beans, mainly as a result of low producer prices obtained for maize during the 2005 marketing season. It is therefore possible to expand plantings up to 100 000 hectares to beans in 2007 depending on import volumes that arise mainly from China.

¡ The demand for canned beans by consumers has started to increase and this provides an opportunity for the industry to expand as well as for new entrants. More and more consumers are beginning to use and prefer canned products on account of the fact that more rural South Africans are adopting Western eating habits and also due to the influx of people to the cities with the resulting preference for convenient and easy-to-prepare foods. More packers have thus begun to enter the canning industry to make the convenient canned product available.

¡ There are two seed companies, one established by the Dry Bean Producers Organization, known as Dry Bean Seed (Pty) Ltd and one international company Pannar that supplies local producers with Red Speckled varieties established as preferential consumer choices.
