High rates of hunger and food insecurity drive a constant and urgent demand for essential foods such as maize, wheat, and other grains. These foods form the basis of diets for many South Africans, particularly those in lower-income brackets who rely heavily on affordable and filling staple foods. According to the Government of South Africa, out of almost 17,9 million households in SA in 2021, 15 percent (2,6 million) and 6 percent (1,1 million) stated that they have inadequate and severe inadequate access to food, respectively. Additionally, Brazil is a significant global producer and exporter of essential crops, including soybeans, corn, sugarcane, coffee, and oranges. The country’s expanding agriculture sector has significantly increased production volumes, contributing to global food supply chains. Brazil’s agricultural exports are crucial in meeting international demand for staple foods, influencing global market prices and trade dynamics. According to the Government of Brazil, Brazil’s 2022/23 crop is expected to break a new record in national grain production. Total numbers will add up to over 312.4 million tons of soy, corn, cotton, rice, and other products. Volume exceeds the recent record – for the previous harvest, which was 270.9 million tons – by 41.5 million tons. Hence, the region's expansion of the agriculture sector and high food insecurity drive the market's growth.
