Opportunities exist for import replacement in whole or in part. The conditions under which each will be possible are discussed below. The following products and sectors seem to us the most promising. They are divided into two: 1. Products and sectors where capacity and capability exist in SA and the capacity is under-utilized or can be expanded (requiring investment). 2. Products and sectors where SA has no capacity and / or expertise, or the capacity has been mothballed or scrapped but expertise still exists. The tables set out for each product or sector what is required to place South African producers in a position to replace all or most of the imports.
