The South African Poultry Association (Sapa) is pressing for immediate government action to roll out vaccinations to avert a catastrophic bird flu outbreak, driven by wild birds migrating from Europe. The R65-billion poultry sector—South Africa’s second-largest agricultural industry—supports nearly 58,000 jobs and provides affordable protein to millions. However, it remains at risk after the devastating 2023 outbreak, which saw 9.6 million birds culled (over a third of long-living poultry in Gauteng), costing the industry at least R9.5 billion. The outbreak, involving H5N1 and H7N6 strains, led to egg prices soaring by over 30% and disrupted food security.

Die burgerregteorganisasie, AfriForum sê hy verwerp die polisieminister, Senzo Mchunu se “afmaak van plaasmoorde” toe hy verlede week die misdaadstatistiek bekend gemaak het. AfriForum sê Mchunu se bewering dat slegs een boer tussen Oktober en Desember 2024 in Suid-Afrika vermoor is, “is feitelik verkeerd en minag die werklike, voortdurende krisis van plaasaanvalle en -moorde in die land.” AfriForum se hoofwoordvoerder oor Gemeenskapsveiligheid, Jacques Broodryk sê tussen Oktober en Desember 2024 het daar volgens hul statistiek 10 plaasmoorde plaasgevind, vyf plaaseienaars, een plaasbestuurder, drie werknemers en een veiligheidswag. Broodryk sê Mchunu se misleidende stelling is ’n growwe wanvoorstelling van die werklikheid op grondvlak en ’n belediging vir die slagoffers en hul families.

Standard Bank has closed a R4.9bn deal for the 140MW Ishwati Emoyeni Wind Farm project, marking the first time a renewable energy project of this scale has reached financial close with an energy trader as the offtaker. The wind farm, located in the Western Cape, is being developed by Africa Clean Energy Developments. The Cape Town-based renewable energy development company has African Infrastructure Investment Managers and Reatile, a Johannesburg-based black-owned investment company, as shareholders. The bank aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions from its operations by 2040 and from its financed emissions by 2050, aligning with the Paris Agreement.

Tropiese vog sal van Donderdag af oor die sentrale en noordwestelike dele van die land inbeweeg, wat tot die naweek tot goeie neerslae tot in die Suid-Kaap kan lei. ’n Swak tropiese stelsel kan Dinsdag en Woensdag 50 mm reën of meer oor dele van die Mosambiekkanaal laat uitsak, terwyl minder reën in dié tyd oor dele van Suid-Afrika kan voorkom. Tropiese vog sal van Donderdag af oor die sentrale tot noordwestelike dele van die land voorkom. “Dit gaan suidooswaarts uitbrei met neerslae van meer as 20 mm wat rondom 1 en 2 Maart oor die grootste deel van die Oos-Kaap en selfs oor die noordelike dele van die Suid-Kaap moontlik is. Swaar reën is ook moontlik oor die suidelike en oostelike dele van die Vrystaat, die oostelike en suidoostelike dele van die Noord-Kaap, sowel as die westelike dele van KwaZulu-Natal,” sê Johan van den Berg, onafhanklike landbouweerkundige.

POWERED BY CRA GROUP leaders in Farming and Agriculture news. - No medium in Farming and Agriculture give your so much news at one address - 7 days of the week.

Outstanding articles of the week. Summary of some news Headlines in the Farming and Agriculture media.

South Africa’s national debt has ballooned to over R5 trillion, a figure that looms large over any talk of rebuilding. The ANC’s reliance on bailouts—R50 billion annually for Eskom alone—has drained the Treasury, with little to show for it. Municipal debt to Eskom exceeds R100 billion, rising by R18 billion yearly, while taxpayers and paying electricity customers foot the bill through higher tariffs or subsidies. The illusion here is that this borrowing fuels progress; instead, it papers over systemic failures, leaving future generations to pay the price. READ MORE 

Palm oil futures have surged since mid-2024, driven by tight supplies and robust demand, reaching a peak of $1,250 per tonne by year-end. Despite competition from cheaper soybean oil, palm oil’s price has climbed 31% since late August, supported by limited alternatives and increased biodiesel use, particularly in Indonesia. READ MORE 

In 1994 when South Africa became a democracy, white farmers owned 77.580 million hectares of farmland out of the total surface area of 122 million hectares. The new government set a target of redistributing 30% of this within five years. This target date has been moved several times and is now 2030. READ MORE 

Opening up new markets would also refocus South Africans on the port issues and rural roads, which require significant improvement. As things stand, the more attention given to global issues that various regions of South Africa have limited influence on, the more domestic challenges will continue to constrain the sector's growth.

Farming isn’t your typical 9-to-5 gig. It’s a lifestyle that demands early mornings, late nights, and plenty of time operating machinery or walking the land. That’s where Audiocast shine. They’re hands-free, portable, and don’t care if you’re covered in dirt or steering through a muddy field. Unlike a book or a video, a Audiocast doesn’t ask you to stop what you’re doing—it joins you in the cab, the shed, or wherever the day takes you. And farmers are listening. Surveys suggest that a significant chunk of the agricultural community—some estimates say over a third—tune into ag-related podcasts regularly. Whether it’s catching up on market trends, learning about the latest in soil health, or just hearing a good story from another grower, these audio shows have become a go-to resource.

15 Best South Africa News Podcasts

AGRI NEWS NET on NUMBER 7 for the month of January  2025

The numbers tell the story: Audiocast listenership is climbing, and agriculture is no exception. By some estimates, over 100 million people in the U.S. alone are tuning into podcasts, with farmers and ranchers making up a dedicated slice of that pie. Successful ag-focused shows are racking up thousands of downloads per episode, and some are even attracting sponsors eager to reach this engaged audience.
