As the winter months set in, a strategic SA industry fears for its future. Poultry producers across the country are recovering from a disastrous 2023, when the worst bird flu outbreak SA has so far experienced contributed to industry losses of R9.5bn that year. Now an industry vital for the country’s food security fears it may happen again, brought here by migratory birds. Infections flare up in winter, and poultry producers are worried. Bird flu is being listed as the major risk facing the industry. Poultry producers are without two important safeguards that government could have instituted since the 2023 outbreak. Those safeguards are vaccination against bird flu, and the payment of compensation for birds culled during bird flu outbreaks. 

Die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, sê Suid-Afrika se voortgesette vennootskap met die Wêreldbank sal die land help om vinniger te vorder met hervormings in die infrastruktuurlandskap. Dit volg nadat die Wêreldbank ʼn lening van sowat 26,5 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand goedgekeur het vir strukturele hervorming om infrastruktuur te verbeter.

The ban has triggered fears of a shortage, especially in processed meat products which rely on Brazilian MDM.

Dinge vertoon goed vir die komende reënseisoen. Huidige voorspellings dui op ‘n hoë waarskynlikheid dat ENSO-neutrale toestande deur die winter en vroeë somer, dus tot Oktober vanjaar sal voortduur, met ‘n geleidelike verskuiwing na óf ‘n neutrale óf La Niña-fase daarna. La Niña bring reën in Namibië terwyl El Niño droëer toestande veroorsaak. Die onsekerheid neem toe met langer tydsberekening maar El Niño bly onwaarskynlik. Daar is tans ‘n 41 persent kans op La Niña vir November 2025 tot Januarie 2026, met ‘n laer kans, onder 15 persent dat El Niño sal ontwikkel.
