This is motivated by the declining profitability of milling wheat in South Africa, and also to address the Western Cape's demand for an energy feed source. The province currently uses yellow maize, but due to conditions in the province (winter rainfall) not being as suitable for yellow maize production, the province has to acquire its yellow maize from far located regions. The viability of triticale as an alternative was determined by drawing up demand curves to establish at which price a reasonable demand (i.e., ±20 000 t) would be demanded. This enabled the study to compare the two crops (wheat and triticale) based on their gross margins. Show less
