    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: GAIN Report Number: South Africa - Republic of TREE NUTS ANNUAL TREE NUTS ANNUAL Approved By: Kari Rojas Prepared By: Linda Siphugu Report Highlights: For marketing year 2009/10, a production of 25,940 MT Wet In Shell (WIS) is estimated; this expected increase is due to the ample number of hectares planted in all South African macadamia producing areas .For marketing year 2008/09 South Africa produced 23,112MT WIS macadamias. This represented a 13.5 percent increase compared to the previous season due to increase in production in all South African macadamia producing areas. Although the majority of South African macadamias are still exported to North America (United States and Canada) and Europe, sales volumes to these countries dropped to 68.2 percent in 2008 whilst volumes to South East Asia and Japan substantially grew by 41 percent and 71 percent respectively. The economic melt down is blamed as the culprit for the drop in sales nut volume in North America. The scope of exports is expected to widen to include the UK since South African Macadamia Growers Association (SAMAC) and Australian Macadamia Society (AMS) have joined forces to embark on a program to stimulate the use of the Macadamia nuts. Executive Summary: South Africa’s 2009 macadamia nut production is expected to increase to 25,940MT Wet In Shell (WIS) which is largely due to an increase of area harvested.
