South Africa’s maize exports, typically around 3 million tonnes annually with 18% going to Zimbabwe, must now target Far East markets and southern Africa (excluding Zimbabwe) due to Zimbabwe’s temporary maize import ban starting late August 2025. Agricultural economist Wandile Sihlobo from Agbiz notes that Zimbabwe’s bumper 2024/25 maize harvest of 1.3 million tonnes—over double last season’s drought-hit 800,000 tonnes—prompted the ban to support local farmers. However, this falls short of Zimbabwe’s 2 million tonne annual need, likely requiring 700,000 tonnes in imports later.
Die Rooivleisbedryfsliggaam (RMIS) ondersteun dierewelsyn en duidelike regulasies, maar waarsku dat ’n verbod op lewendehawe-uitvoer per see produsente sal benadeel en die rooivleiswaardeketting sal ontwrig, volgens uitvoerende hoof Dewald Olivier. Die Nasionale Dierebeskermingvereniging (NDBV) verwerp die voorgestelde regulasies vir seevervoer van lewende hawe as onvoldoende en wreed, met geen strafmaatreëls of afdwingingsmeganismes nie. Die NDBV dreig met regstappe indien die regulasies nie bindende standaarde en toesig insluit nie.
Suid-Afrika se Vuurwapenwet stel streng vereistes vir wapenbesit, wat veral boere raak wat hulself teen plaasaanvalle wil beskerm. Om ’n vuurwapen wettig te besit, moet aansoekers ’n vaardigheidsertifikaat by ’n geakkrediteerde instansie kry, kluisfasiliteite hê, en vir elke wapen ’n afsonderlike lisensie aanvra. Hulle moet SA burgers wees, ouer as 21, ’n geldige adres hê, ’n motivering indien, en geen misdaadrekord hê nie.
South Africa's agricultural sector is in its recovery phase, and the second quarter of 2025 figures signal the improvement, albeit mildly. The country's agricultural gross value added expanded by 2.5% quarter-on-quarter (seasonally adjusted) in the second quarter. This follows the 18.6% quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of the year. The expansion was primarily due to the improved performance of certain field crops and the horticulture subsectors.
Outstanding articles of the week. Summary of some news Headlines in the Farming and Agriculture media.
Although apartheid ended in 1994, the rooibos tea industry is still dominated by white-owned companies. These companies benefited from years of subsidies and protection by the apartheid government. Rooibos farmers who were classified as “Coloured” (an apartheid-era race term imposed on indigenous Khoi-San and other ethnically diverse oppressed people of colour) were excluded from the industry during this time.

Over the past five years, the country has exported roughly 3 million tonnes each year. One of its largest markets is Zimbabwe, typically accounting for about 18% of annual exports. But in the near term, we may see these exports declining. READ MORE

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.

Reën wat sedert die naweek oor dele van die somerreënstreek (Mpumalanga, Gauteng, Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal en die Vrystaat) geval het, is nie die laaste vir September nie en was nie deel van die normale somerreënpatroon nie. Volgens landbouweerkundige Johan van den Berg is dit veroorsaak deur ’n afsnylaagdruk met vog uit die Indiese Oseaan en koue suidelike lug, wat stormagtige weer en ligte hael gebring het. Van 13 tot 24 September word byna daaglikse reën in KwaZulu-Natal verwag, wat later na Mpumalanga, die Oos-Vrystaat en suidoostelike Limpopo kan uitbrei. Die intertropiese konvergensiesone lê nog noord, met grootskaalse reën eers teen einde Oktober verwag.Ryprisiko: Maksimum temperature van 30–40°C het gewasse vinnig laat ontwikkel, maar ’n koue front kan vanaf 16 September temperature met 5–10°C laat daal, met minimums onder 5°C in die sentrale en suidelike binneland. Ryp is moontlik in die Noord-Kaap (bv. 3°C by Augrabies, -4°C by Zastron), Oos-Kaap, Vrystaat en Wes-Kaap (-2°C by Ceres), maar nie in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Gauteng of noordelike Noordwes nie. Vroeë gewasontwikkeling in warmer gebiede verhoog die ryprisiko.La Niña: Die Niño 3.4-gebied is 0,4°C koeler as normaal, wat dui op ’n moontlike swak La Niña teen einde September of begin Oktober, twee maande vroeër as verlede seisoen. Dit kan ’n vroeër reënseisoen bring met gemiddelde tot bogemiddelde reën vanaf November, maar ’n vroeë einde kan later probleme veroorsaak.Hierdie weeruitdagings vererger Suid-Afrika se landbou-uitdagings, insluitend voedselsekerheid, plaasaanvalle en ekonomiese druk (33,9% werkloosheid), waar samewerking met lande soos Australië en holistiese oplossings soos telehealth boere kan ondersteun.
South Africa’s economy is collapsing due to 15 years of mismanagement, with industries like steel and mining shedding jobs—4,000 at ArcelorMittal, 900 at Goodyear, 474 at Ford, and 688 at Assmang’s Beeshoek mine. Unemployment is at 33.9% (Q1 2025), with youth unemployment at 46.1%.
Suid-Afrika se Vuurwapenwet hou heelwat vereistes en implikasies in, veral vir boere wat dit moeiliker vind om hulself te beskerm. Hul kommer gaan veral oor hul vermoë om hulself te kan beskerm en verdedig in gevalle van geweldsmisdaad.
August 2025 tractor sales rose to 700 units, up 22% year-on-year, with year-to-date sales 23% higher than last year. Combine harvester sales remain strong, up nearly 26% year-to-date.
Ramaphosa sê eensydige tariefverhogings wat deur die Amerikaanse regering ingestel is, skep 'n toenemend proteksionistiese omgewing, wat 'n groot bedreiging vir lande in die sogenaamde Globale Suide inhou. Ramaphosa het 'n beroep op die Brics-groepering gedoen om saam te werk om ekonomiese uitdagings die hoof te bied.
Transnet has reported revenue of R82.7 billion (US$4.4 billion) for the year ended 31 March 2025, a 7.8% increase compared to the previous year. The State-owned rail, port, and pipeline company attributed the growth to improved performance in the rail business under its Recovery Plan.
Business Leadership South Africa sê die regering moet dringend ingryp om werksgeleenthede te beskerm en groei te bevorder. Die waarsku 250 000 werksgeleenthede in voorsieningskettings kan verlore gaan, vererger deur Amerikaanse handelsdruk.
Global animal agriculture production is projected to grow by 14% over the next decade (2024–2034), driven by a 6% per capita increase in meat, fish, and dairy consumption, according to the FAO and OECD.
Opul en sy vennote het Sondag aangekondig dat hulle olieproduksie vanaf Oktober sal verhoog, hoewel teen ‘n stadiger tempo as in onlangse maande. Die stap, grootliks gedryf deur Saoedi-Arabië se pogings om markaandeel terug te wen, dui op ‘n voortsetting van produksieverhogings wat in April begin het.
Landbou in Suid-Afrika presteer deurlopend positief, ten spyte van waarskynlik een van die vyandigste beleidsomgewings denkbaar. Boere word daagliks gekonfronteer met ’n klomp uitdagings wat wissel van kruipende onteiening en die aftakeling van eiendomsreg tot omgewingsfaktore wat volhoubaarheid ernstig bedreig.
At the Swartland Show in Moorreesburg, political analyst JP Landman likened the ANC-DA collaboration in South Africa’s government of national unity to the “clumsy fumbling” of young lovers.
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Weerdiens voorspel ’n belowende lente- en somerseisoen vir die Oos-Kaap as gevolg van ’n moontlike swak La Niña, wat bogemiddelde reënval in die noordoostelike dele van die land kan bring vanaf September 2025 tot Januarie 2026.
It's official—For the first time, Zimbabwean blueberries will be exported to China. The announcement was made after the two countries signed a new protocol agreement in Beijing, following a series of negotiations that began in April 2024. The deal represents an unprecedented opportunity for local producers to access one of the world's fastest-growing blueberry markets.
Die minister van Handel, Nywerheid en Mededinging, Parks Tau, sê sy departement is in gesprek met Algerië en Egipte oor maniere om met die Suid-Afrikaanse motorsektor saam te werk. Tau sê Suid-Afrika ondersoek nouer bande met Noord-Afrika se grootste ekonomieë om Suid-Afrika se motorbedryf te versterk.
The South African poultry industry is a crucial sector in the country's economy, worth around R65 billion and employing nearly 58,000 people. It's the second-largest agricultural sector and a significant contributor to food security, with chicken being the most consumed protein source in South Africa.
Google is deur die EU met 2,95 miljard beboet vir die beweerde misbruik van sy mag in die advertensietegnologiesektor – die tegnologie wat bepaal watter advertensies aanlyn geplaas moet word en waar.
South Africa's maize industry is export-oriented. Over the past five years, the country has exported roughly 3 million tonnes each year. One of its largest markets is Zimbabwe, typically accounting for about 18% of annual exports. But in the near term, we may see these exports declining. There is a policy change that may lead to such an eventuality.
