A USDA attaché forecast South Africa’s 2026/27 corn production at 14.9 million tonnes, down about 19% from the previous season’s record crop. The forecast cites reduced planted area, unfavorable weather prospects and higher production costs; ending stocks are projected to nearly halve as domestic consumption rises.
