In 2021/2022, the production of maize was approximately 15.3 million metric tons. This represents a drop of around 10 percent from previous years. In 2015/2016, South Africa experienced a decline reaching about 8.2 million metric tons. A fundamental reason for this was the severe drought that occurred between 2015 and 2017. However, from 2000 to 2022, an increase of roughly 96.3 percent can be recognized.
