It is a diverse industry, combining the agricultural activities of cultivation with the manufacture of raw and refined sugar, syrups, specialised sugars by-products and co-products. In line with developments in the global sugar sector, it has the potential to be a producer of renewable energy, bio-fuels and bio-plastics.

Sugarcane is grown by approximately 21 889 registered sugarcane growers and sugar is manufactured by six milling companies with 14 sugar mills operating in the cane-growing regions. Sugarcane is a strategic crop for Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal, comprising nearly 50% of field crop gross farming income across these two provinces where sugarcane is grown.

The industry produces an average of 2,3 million tons of sugar per season however the drought that OVERVIEW gripped eastern and central South Africa considered to be the worse since 1992, has had an adverse OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN impact on the sugar industry and seen the crop decline to 1,6 million tons of sugar in the 2015/2016 season. Despite this drop, there is sufficient sugar to satisfy the domestic market in South Africa. The SUGAR INDUSTRY previous season 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2015 closed at 2,115 million tons sugar.

Approximately 75% of the area of sugarcane harvested in South Africa is dryland (relying on rainfall) and 25% is irrigated, and as such the impact of drought is widespread. In addition to the dryland regions some irrigated areas have been affected due to water restrictions. Irrigation is found predominantly in Mpumalanga and in Pongola in northern KwaZulu-Natal. Rainfall is most

Approximately 800mm per annum is needed. Rainfall has been very low in most of the industry from November 2014 to date. 2 3 Socio-Economic Contribution of the Building Sustainable Communities

The economic activity generated in rural areas because of sugarcane cultivation and production creates jobs in support industries and commerce. Siphiwe Nyawo photographed on her farm in KwaZulu-Natal. The drought has affected the livelihoods of people employed directly and indirectly by the industry particularly in rural areas where there is little employment. Some sugar mills in the industry have either not opened, or remained closed for extended periods, during the 2015-2016 season due to a lack of cane availability within the milling area signifying the severity of the drought. Although the drought is affecting all growers; small scale growers, land reform growers and new entrant growers may be hardest hit.

Approximately one million people, or 2% of South Africa’s population, depend on the sugar industry for a living and it is hoped that the drought will soon abate so that the industry’s socio-economic contribution can continue to make a positive contribution.

The sugar industry is primarily a rural based industry, and the rural communities The model proposes an integrated approach to sustainable cane development that form part of its footprint are a key stakeholder to its sustainability. In order to which is supported by the provision of strategic infrastructure, and support for maximize the development of both the people and the land, the sugar industry the development of community based enterprises in the sugar cane production has formulated a rural development strategy that proposes an inclusive rural value chain. The model also acknowledges that other commodities like livestock development model for the cane growing areas of communal land. The strategy and cash crops need to co-exist with sugar cane.

Cogeneration and fuel ethanol represent an and in flux in South Africa, and are also required to meet growing opportunity to revitalise, sustain and grow the local sugar industry. The South African sugar industry can contribute approximately 700 MW of demands from the agricultural and energy sectors. This poses electricity capacity to the national grid through cogeneration projects. The sugar industry cogeneration projects are focused on maximising a major nexus challenge, nationally and for industry in trying to job creation, rural development and socio-economic benefits. These national benefits will be realised if the cogeneration tariff is sufficient to coordinate across sectors and in striving towards sustainability. attract investment by the industry and secure sustainable cane farming. Renewable energy technologies are an opportunity for value addition that will improve the sustainability of the industry as a whole.

In essence, domestic sugar of an agricultural and agro-processing industry, which is dependent upon natural resources.
