Description

The South Africa animal feed market reached a volume of approximately 8.23 Million Tons in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.40% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a volume of around 10.43 Million Tons by 2034.

South Africa Animal Feed Market Growth

The animal feed market is set for substantial growth due to various factors such as increasing health consciousness, demand for protein-based products, and affordable nutrition solutions to enhance livestock production healthily and sustainably. For instance, the Shoprite Group feeds 3000 cattle daily with high-quality feed made by converting 1 000 tons of food waste into animal feed. The group's animal feed formula now includes dried commodities in addition to hominy chop, a byproduct of milling maize, such as rice, flour, pasta, chips, maize products, cereal products, snacks, and seeds. High-quality feed has been maintained as a result of this.

Moreover, there are ongoing technological innovations in feed manufacturing led by prominent players to meet the unique needs of farmers and livestock owners. For instance, InsectiPro in Kenya rears black soldier fly larvae by upcycling food waste to produce animal feed with high protein concentrations for fish and livestock. On the other hand, it also provides alternatives to plant-based protein and enhances food security. Also, the growing population and income level have accelerated the demand for dairy and meat products in the region and fueled market expansion.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
