South Africa recorded a 17.7 million-tonne maize harvest for 2025/26, its largest on record, after the Crop Estimates Committee raised its forecast by 1% from September. The larger crop has eased supply concerns ahead of possible El Niño-related drought risk for the 2026/27 planting season, and white and yellow maize prices fell below levels seen a month earlier.
The record harvest boosts available domestic supply and has already pressured South African maize prices. It provides a buffer against potential weather-related production losses in the next season.
