South Africa’s red meat sector faces a potential R10.6 billion loss in Gross Production Value over the next five years if it does not address ongoing animal disease outbreaks and escalating input costs. The August 2025 BFAP report, commissioned by Red Meat Industry Services, warns that the industry remains far from its Strategy 2030 target of R71.5 billion due to internal weaknesses and external shocks, and stresses that only immediate, coordinated investment in animal health and export markets can secure sustainable growth.
South Africa produces up to 2,500 tons of honey per year but consumes nearly double that amount. The country relies heavily on imported natural honey, with more than 80% coming from China. Other import sources include Zambia, India, Poland and Yemen. “Given the high demand, there has been an increase in very poor-quality products and sometimes fake honey,” Steenhuisen said. In December, the Department of Agriculture’s Directorate of Inspection Services will conduct another operation to remove such products from stores. “This is part of our effort to ensure citizens receive the quality goods they intended to buy,” his speech stated.
Die amptelike werkloosheidsyfer in Suid-Afrika het vir die eerste keer in 2025 gedaal, van 33,2% in die tweede kwartaal na 31,9% in die derde kwartaal – ’n daling van meer as een persentasiepunt. Statistieke Suid-Afrika (StatsSA) het Dinsdag die kwartaallikse arbeidsmagpeiling (QLFS) vrygestel, wat wys dat daar tussen Julie en September 360 000 minder werklose mense was as in die vorige kwartaal. Die aantal werkende persone het met 248 000 toegeneem tot 17,1 miljoen, maar dit beteken steeds dat sowat agt miljoen mense sonder werk sit.

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.
