While the pandemic saw many consumers cooking at home out of necessity, this is also a more affordable approach compared to buying ready meals or takeaway options. When consumers were confined to their homes during the pandemic, they also rediscovered the convenience of leftovers, which offer a convenient lunch for the following day.
Retail demand for rice is likely to remain elevated over the forecast period, as some local consumers move away from bread and maize due to the high unit prices. Maize price increases are expected over the forecast period as local yields are under pressure due to drought in key producing regions.
Social media offers a wealth of food recipes and inspiration, and has revolutionised the way consumers share recipes globally. While culture and nostalgia continue to drive the dishes consumers cook at home in South Africa, short-form video platforms such as TikTok and Instagram Reels have started to play a role in the types of meals they prepare.
