The 2018/19 season represented the twenty-first annual wheat crop quality survey. The aim of these surveys is to accumulate commercial wheat crop quality data on a national level to assist industry in decision making processes.

Monitoring the quality of imported wheat is important to the entire wheat value chain, since South Africa relies on imports to supply local demand. During the period 1 October 2017 to 30 September 2018, 231 samples of wheat imported for local use and representing 2 173 234 tons of wheat, were received from eleven countries and analysed by the Southern African Grain Laboratory NPC
