South Africa is a major consumer of sunflower oil. The Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP) estimates that South Africa's consumption of sunflower oil in 2019 increased by 63% since 2008. Sunflower is the most important oilseed crop in South Africa; it is the main source of vegetable oil, followed by canola and soybeans. 

Almost all of the local sunflower crop is used each year to make sunflower oil for the food processing industry. Although vegetable oil is produced in South Africa, the production is not enough to satisfy the country's expanding domestic demand, which is 2% annually. 

The global pandemic and ensuing recession continue to limit consumers’ spending power throughout the country. As a result, customers choose oil in smaller packs/sizes, switch to cheaper oils, or choose to use less oil.
