  Erhard Seiler, chief executive officer of SABA, shared the view."The economy of scale is too small.It does not make the biofuels strategy viable," he said.
  
  SABA's Makenete had challenged the food security concerns in an article in the Business Day newspaper.He rubbished the tendency to blame biofuels for price increases of commodities across the board as "pure hype".
  
  He pointed to the 'OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook 2007-2016' that highlighted lower world opening stocks, increased demand, drought and market inefficiencies for higher prices. (This report was produced jointly by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.)
  
  The 'Agricultural Outlook' warned that it would be premature to attribute a long-term rise in commodity prices to biofuels.
  
  Pro-maize officials also opposed environmental concerns about the increase in maize production in a country like South Africa, where water has been a problem because of recurrent drought.According to Seiler, maize requires far less water than a guzzler like sugar cane, which the government has included in its biofuel strategy.
  
  "At SABA we believe that a higher biofuel target would have ensured food security," he told IPS.

  Erhard Seilar, chief executive of the Southern African Biofuels Association, said the region's farming sector stood to gain most from the growth of the fledgling sector, which has been touted as a partial solution to Africa's energy problems.
  
  "In our view, biofuels offer the largest stable market for agriculture in southern Africa," Seilar told the 4th African biofuels conference. "Biodiesel and bioethanol producers are also potential co-generators of electricity."
  
  He said farmers in the region needed to start growing crops that would be specifically used to make biofuels, and calm fears about biofuels production threatening food security.
  
  "What is really needed is the development of biofuels agriculture in our region," Seilar said.
