NIGERIA SOUTH AFRICA FOOD AID TRADE MISSION MAY 16 22

NIGERIA & SOUTH AFRICA FOOD AID TRADE MISSION MAY 16 – 22, 2012

US Dry Bean Council (USDBC) Industry Representatives:

Gary Paur, Northarvest Bean Growers David McClellan, USDBC Regional Representative

Introduction This trade mission was organized to participate in the MAP‐sponsored Global Broad‐Based Initiative (GBI) program “High‐Quality, Cost‐Effective Food Products for Private and Public Sectors”. This program promotes U.S. protein products in targeted countries to both the commercial and humanitarian sectors in Africa as a response to the protein‐deficient diets there. GBI programs are unique in that they require multiple cooperators to participate as a single operational consortium. The World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (WISHH) is the lead cooperator for this GBI program over the past several years. The other partner cooperators include USDBC, the U.S. Dry Pea and Lentil Council, American Peanut Council, North American Millers Association, US Potato Board, and the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. The program is also unique in that it attempts to go beyond simply promoting US agricultural products to food aid users or commercial buyers and looks to link commercial development to meet humanitarian needs. Objectives

• Identify opportunities for US dry bean sales to Non‐Government Organizations (NGO) and commercial buyers in Western and Southern Africa.

• Introduce pre‐cooked, dehydrated US dry bean products to NGO’s and commercial buyers.

Results and Recommendations USDBC representatives contacted the following African NGO’s using, or interested in, US dry beans:

• Mary’s Meals – Liberia: Considering the introduction of dry beans into its school feeding program. Although beans are more expensive than rice and dry fish, beans will be more popular with the children and the parents and thus generate greater parent support for these school feeding programs.

• International Partnership for Human Development (IPHD) – Congo Republic (Brazzaville): Has been using US pinto beans for many years in its school feeding programs in the Congo Republic. IPHD’s agricultural development program aims to produce enough food to supply all its school feeding needs. IPHD currently raises corn and is testing a range of dry bean seed as a rotation crop.

• Joint Aid Management (JAM)– Angola: JAM has set up various food processing centers in Angola making a soup mix of ground maize, sugar, oil, beans and milk powder for its school feeding programs.

USDBC representatives contacted the following African companies using or interested in US dry beans (see comments regarding each company in the report below):

• Advance Seed – South Africa • African Food Products – Rwanda • Akhalwaya´s Spices – South Africa • Akila Trading (Pty) Ltd. – South Africa • African International Traders – South Africa • Dursots Food Corporation – South Africa • Flour Mills of Nigeria – Nigeria • Giant’s Canning – South Africa • Igwegbe A & Sons – Nigeria • Maviga – Ethiopia • Narumal & Sons – Nigeria

Nigeria Market Overview Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country. Its population is expected to exceed 170 million in July 2012. GDP growth has been strong during the 2007‐2011 period, fueled by robust global crude oil prices (oil provides 95% of foreign exchange earnings and about 80% of budgetary revenues) as well as growth in the non‐oil sectors.

Nigeria’s main agricultural products are cocoa, peanuts, cotton, palm oil, corn, rice, sorghum, millet, cassava (tapioca), yams, rubber, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, timber and fish. Nigeria and neighboring Niger are also the leading world producers of cowpeas according to FAOSTAT. Cowpeas are native to western Africa and are widely produced in Nigeria’s northern and central crop zones. Though common beans (phaseolus‐vulgaris) are produced in Nigeria, agricultural literature and trade sources indicate that cowpeas are the most widely produced and preferred legume in the country.

During our visit to Lagos, we visited two open markets. In both markets, three distinct types of cowpeas were the only legume we observed. The cowpeas were usually sold alongside cornmeal and rice. Lentils, chickpeas, dry peas, and dry beans are available in supermarkets; mostly packaged abroad and destined to expats living in Lagos.

Cowpeas are traditionally soaked, decorticated and then ground into a mash which is then fried or cooked (see recipes for akara, danwake and moin‐moin at the end of this report). As incomes rise and women have less time to cook, cowpeas are increasingly sold ground into flour. The Nigerian market for flours is surprisingly extensive. In the ShopRite supermarket we visited, there were four 1‐meter‐wide sections of shelf

dedicated to bean (cowpea) flour, plantain flour, cassava flour, rice flour, and yam flour as well as wheat and corn flour. Most flours are used to make starch side dishes similar to mashed potatoes. Bean flour is also being used as a meat extender and protein enhancer by some Nigerian food processors. From our brief market visit, the leading packager of cowpeas and cowpea flour in Lagos is Ayoola Foods Limited (www.ayoolafoodsng.com).

Source: South African National Department of Agriculture • Dry bean production in South Africa has generally broken down:

o 85% sugar beans (the dominant bean variety consumed as a staple by the majority of the population)

o 10% small white “teebus” navy‐type beans (used for canning) o 3% large white butter beans (sold dry and canned) o 2% carioca beans (mostly exported to other African markets)

• Dry bean acreage continues to decline. Trade sources cite farmer preference for corn, especially GMO varieties, which offer: reliable yields, good prices, and are less labor‐intensive.

affected by any Chinese crop reduction. • Dry bean consumption rises during their winter months which are June, July, and

August when consumers tend to make soups and stews. • Over half of bean and legume consumption is concentrated in the Kwazulu‐Natal

region around Durban. Monday, May 21 09:00 Meet w/ Advance Seed

P. 11

• S.Africa usually buys 90,000 MT/yr beans from China • Kenya produces more pinto beans than Ethiopia. Price started at $800/MT and

currently are at $1100/MT • Kenyan bean harvest occurs in March‐April • Ethiopia bean harvest occurs in November. Ethiopia is now producing 60‐

70,000 MT/yr pea beans priced at $750/MT vs. $950/MT for Chinese small whites

• S.African import duties: o Green split peas 30% o Whole green peas 15% o Dry beans 10% o Garbs, lentils, yellow peas (whole and split) 0% o Canned legume products 0%

• Leading co‐packer in South Africa – nº1 competition is imported canned products from Saudi Arabia and Italy

• Buys 450 mt/mo. Ethiopian pea beans for baked beans (60% total production). • Also buys dark red kidney, garbanzo, and large white kidney beans. • Moisture levels very important – 14% is ideal ‐ Giant’s has static batch retorts

which require a longer cooking time than rotary systems. 16:00 Meet w/ Darsot Food Corporation

Shuaib I. Darsot, Operations Director 15 Misgund Road, Eikenhof Gauteng 1872 South Africa Tel: +27 11 948 9949

• Major RSA canner. Baked beans = 60% production • Has used 100% Chinese Japanese‐type white beans but may switch to Ethiopian

pea beans because of current price advantage. • Most interested in US navy beans, Great Northern beans, and whole green

peas. • Darsot says market for baked beans continues to grow because of the large

mass of low‐income people in the country (46 million out of the 49 million total) are gaining purchasing power and baked beans are a cheap, aspirational product becoming available to growing numbers of consumers.


P. 12

• However, the lower‐income consumers are more brand‐loyal than higher income groups (“don’t have the money to try something new and fail”). This is making it difficult to break into markets held by Tiger, Nestlé, Tastic, etc.

• Darsot has begun producing mayonnaise and is currently launching the product.

• S.African retail is highly competitive. Net margins are 1‐2% vs. 20‐30% in other African countries.

After you are done, the beans should be nice and white with all the shells removed. This part is very time consuming and can take 30 to 45 minutes to complete. But it’s well worth the wait. Next grind the beans in a blender, 2‐cups at a time with ½ cup of water, until very smooth and creamy. Pour mixture into medium size bowl. You should end up with 4‐1/2 cups of beans total. When you reach the last portion of beans to grind (1/2) cup, still use the 1/2 cup of water to grind because the previous bean mixture should be very thick and is still probably sticking to the sides of the blender. Mixture should look very white and thick in texture. Next, add to bean mixture 1‐crumbled maggi cube. Next, cut 1/3 cup of chopped onions. Next, remove the seeds and cut one habanero pepper very small. Next, add the cut onions, salt and habanero pepper to bean mixture and stir well. Next, add ½ an egg to mixture and stir well. Next, heat 1‐½ ‐cups of vegetable oil in a medium pan or skillet on medium high. Next, when oil is hot, spoon or pour mixture like small pancakes into hot oil. Mixture should be ½ inch apart from each other. You should be able to spoon in at least four to six large spoons full of mixture at a time. Finally, spooned mixture should cook for 5 minutes one each side or until golden brown. Before turning the mixture to brown on the other side, gently and lightly dab some of the remaining egg on top of the uncooked side before flipping to the other

side. Moyin‐Moyin

Moyin‐Moyin (also called Moin‐Moin, Moi‐Moi, Moimoi), a sort of savory bean pudding, is a unique and delicious way to prepare black‐eyed peas or other beans. The traditional way to cook Moyin‐Moyin is to wrap it in leaves (such as banana leaves) and steam it. In modern Africa it is often cooked in empty tin cans but it can also be made in muffin pans (muffin tins). There are many variations of Moyin‐Moyin. Skip all the optional ingredients to make a simple version; include one or more of the optional ingredients to make fancy Moyin‐Moyin. Also see the Akara recipe. What you need:Two to three cups dried cowpeas (black‐eyed peas) or similar One tablespoon dried shrimp powder One or two tomatoes, (peeled if desired), chopped ‐‐ or ‐‐ a similar amount of canned Tomatoes ‐‐ or ‐‐ two tablespoons of canned tomato paste One or two onions, chopped Salt and black pepper to taste Chile pepper, chopped, to taste Cayenne pepper or red pepper, to taste Oil to grease muffin tin Optional Ingredients (a cup of one or more of the following):Cooked shrimp, chopped Cooked carrots, finely chopped Cooked peas Sweet green or red pepper (bell pepper) Hard‐boiled egg Dried, salted, or smoked fish; washed, cleaned and torn into small pieces Dried shrimp or prawns, washed and crushed Canned sardines Leftover cooked meat, cut into small pieces Dried or smoked meat, torn into small pieces Canned corned beef What you do: Clean the black‐eyed peas in water in a large pot.

soak them for at least an hour or overnight. After soaking them, rub them together between your hands to remove the skins. Rinse to wash away the skins and any other debris. Drain them in a colander. If the beans have soaked only a short time they may be cooked in water over a low heat until they are partially tender. Crush, grind, or mash the black‐eyed peas into a thick paste. Slowly add enough water to form a smooth, thick paste. Beat with a wire whisk or wooden spoon for a few minutes. A tablespoon of oil may be added. In a separate container combine all other ingredients and crush and stir them together until they are thoroughly mixed. Add the other ingredients to the black‐eyed pea paste and stir to make a smooth mixture. Grease the muffin pans (or tin cans). Scoop the Moyin‐Moyin mixture into your pans (or cans), allowing some room for it to rise while cooking. Place the pans (or cans) in a baking dish partially filled with water. Bake in a medium‐hot oven for about a half‐hour. Moyin‐Moyin in tin cans can also be steamed in a large covered pot on a stove. Check for doneness with a toothpick or sharp knife as one would for a cake. Alternate cooking method: Wrap the Moyin‐Moyin mixture in banana leaves or aluminum foil to make small packets. Cook the packets by steaming them in a large pot using a rack to keep them out of the water. May be served hot or at room temperature.
