South Africa’s average price for a 5kg bag of maize meal was R64.85 in September 2026, down 14% from a year earlier. A calculation based on the 2019–25 average rate of cereal-product price increases puts the bag at about R126 in 2036, but the article notes this is a scenario rather than a retail-price forecast.
The current decline reflects lower consumer maize-meal prices, while the long-range scenario does not establish a new change in corn supply or demand and has little immediate feed-market implication.
