South African local grain prices fell week-on-week in early April, with white maize down 3.7% and yellow maize down 2.8%. Wheat fell 1.8%, soybeans 1.7% and sunflower seed 4.1%, while the crush margin after tax dropped 54.6% year-on-year.
Lower local maize and soybean prices improve feedlot margins, and a collapsing crush margin signals weaker demand for soybean meal domestically.
