The Middle East region is increasingly important in the South African agricultural trade. For example, in 2023, Asia and the Middle East accounted for 28% of South Africa's agricultural exports, the second largest region. South Africa primarily exports citrus, apples and pears, beef, fresh berries, grapes, and sheep and goat meat to the Middle East. These industries have a potential for growth in South Africa and, therefore, prospects of large volumes for exports to the Middle East.

Die risiko’s en vooruitsigte vir Suid-Afrika se kommersiële landbou sal in die volgende tien jaar verskuif, met die ekstreme klimaat wat dan die grootste risiko sal wees. Dit kan toenemende hulpbron- en voedseltekorte in sommige buurlande veroorsaak. Die Wêreld- Ekonomiese Forum (WEF) stel elke jaar ’n wêreld- risikoverslag bekend as agtergronddokument vir die WEF-vergadering van sake- en regeringsleiers in Davos in Switserland.

South Africa has regained access to the Kingdom of Thailand for the export of fresh apples, a market that had been closed for 16 years due to changes in import requirements. The announcement was made by the Department of Agriculture following the publication of the import conditions on 18 December 2024.  Apples are a key export product for South Africa, contributing significantly to foreign exchange and employment. According to Hortgro, the South African apple industry has seen a 40% increase in exports over the past decade, with the Far East and Asia accounting for about 35% of apple exports. Nearly half of the apples produced in South Africa are exported.

Die gereelde voorkoms van tropiese storms in die Indiese Oseaan, wat weerpatrone oor Suider-Afrika beïnvloed, toon sterk ooreenkomste met dié in die 1983-’84-somerseisoen en het ook ’n invloed op die swak La Niña-stelsel.Die effek wat ’n swak La Niña-stelsel gewoonlik tot gevolg het, soos gunstige toestande vir reënval oor die somerreënstreek gedurende Februarie, word deur ander faktore onderdruk.“Die belangrikste faktor wat tans ’n invloed kan uitoefen en die normale gunstige effek van La Niña kan teenwerk of vernietig, is die tropiese sikloon en die tropiese stormaktiwiteite in die westelike Indiese Oseaan, veral rondom Madagaskar,” sê Johan van den Berg, onafhanklike landbouweerkundige.

In the past, EU officials have resisted the pressure to impose tariffs, preferring instead to maintain a relatively open market approach. Non-tariff barriers towards some countries have been the EU's preferred instrument to keep some producers happy. An example of this is South Africa's citrus industry, which has a case against the EU at the World Trade Organization. READ MORE

Southern Africa is facing a significant hunger crisis as unpredictable rainfall patterns, exacerbated by climate change, threaten the region's agricultural output. The El Niño weather phenomenon has led to prolonged dry spells and heatwaves, severely impacting staple crops like maize and soybeans.

The 2024 citrus export campaign from the southern hemisphere did not align with previous growth trends, largely due to South Africa's performance. As the primary exporter, contributing two-thirds of the total citrus exports (2.23 million tons), South Africa faced several challenges.


Donald Trump's threat to cut off funding to South Africa because of the Expropriation Act, which Cyril Ramaphosa signed into law last week, could have significant implications for the nation's economic growth.

According to the latest Income and Expenditure Survey of Households 2022/2023 by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA), South African households allocate approximately R76 out of every R100 to essential living expenses. These include housing, water, electricity, gas, food, transportation, and insurance.

Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson has assured that no land is being confiscated in South Africa and that land grabs will not be permitted. His statement comes in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's claim that certain groups in South Africa are being mistreated due to the recently enacted Expropriation Act.

Copper cable theft is one of the many scourges to befall South Africa’s state-run logistics company, Transnet. One simple solution to this dilemma: eliminate copper cables.

In 2023 and 2024, the share of dairy products produced with non-dairy ingredients on Russian grocery shelves jumped by 20-30%, a study conducted by the Russian consumer protecting organisation Public Control showed.

’n Swak La Niña-stelsel het wel in die 1983-‘84-seisoen voorgekom, maar baie droë toestande het Suid-Afrika se mielie-opbrengste in ton per ha tot ongeveer 40% onder die verwagte opbrengs laat daal

Landbou-uitvoerstatistieke van Suid-Afrika toon dat die land se buurlande en die streek besig is om as die belangrikste uitvoerbestemmings te ontwikkel. In die afgelope jaar is gesien hoe sterk Suid-Afrika se mielie-uitvoer, uitsluitlik na buurlande, is – in só ’n mate dat die land mielies moet invoer aan die kus.
