China, Suid-Afrika se grootste mark vir rooivleisuitvoer, het die invoer van Suid-Afrikaanse produkte van diere met gesplete hoewe, insluitend rooivleis, tydelik opgeskort weens aanhoudende uitbrake van bek-en-klouseer. Die besluit, wat onmiddellik in werking tree, is deur die Suid-Afrikaanse departement van landbou aangekondig, volgens dr. Frikkie Maré, uitvoerende hoof van die Rooivleisprodusente-organisasie. In 2024 het China 45 782 ton rooivleis ter waarde van R2,9 miljard uit Suid-Afrika ingevoer. Maré meen die opskorting sal nie die breër rooivleiswaardeketting grootliks raak nie, maar abattoirs wat direk na China uitvoer, sal aansienlike verliese ly, met selfs verskepings wat nou op pad is wat moet omdraai. Verdere besonderhede oor die besluit word nog verwag.
The Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, is facing an orange shortage in 2025 due to supply disruptions from key exporters Spain and Egypt, creating opportunities for South African oranges. Kashif Shahzad, head of procurement at Global Star Group, highlights the following: Historically, South African early oranges struggled to penetrate the Middle East due to high market volumes. In 2025, a strong start with South African lemons sets a positive tone. Shahzad anticipates robust demand for South African navel oranges and later citrus varieties, provided there’s no oversupply.
Die Noord-Kaapse nieregeringsorganisasie Gariep Watch verset hom teen die departement van water en sanitasie se plan om die Benede-Oranjerivier tot klas 3, die laagste hulpbronkategorie, af te gradeer. Fritz Bekker, uitvoerende direkteur, noem dit ’n eensydige opoffering van die Noord-Kaap se primêre watervoorsiening om Gauteng se swak waterbestuur te kompenseer. Die afgradering bedreig besproeiing, ekologiese volhoubaarheid en lewensbestaan van gemeenskappe, veral weens Gauteng se 50% watervermorsing deur munisipale wanbestuur. Gariep Watch kritiseer die gebrek aan onlangse velddata, aangesien riviermonitering in 2014 gestaak is. Hulle navorsing toon die rivier is ekologies gesond met diverse visspesies, insluitend die bedreigde geelvis, wat deur afgradering geraak kan word
South Africa is a leading agricultural exporter in Africa, yet faces significant household food insecurity, with 19.7% of households experiencing moderate to severe food insecurity in 2023, up from 15.8% in 2019, and severe food insecurity rising from 6.4% to 8.0% over the same period, according to Statistics South Africa’s Food Security Report (2019-2023). The primary issue is not food availability, quality, or high prices but lack of access due to income poverty, particularly in households without regular income.
South Africa is a global example of how not to redistribute land. It’s a failure. This was the sentiment that all panellists agreed on during an expropriation webinar hosted by civil society group Defend Our Democracy on Tuesday afternoon. Three panellists were asked to engage the topic “Expropriation - The answer to South Africa’s land reform problems?” READ MORE
The FAO Food Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in the international prices of a set of globally traded food commodities, averaged 128.3 points in April, up 1.0 percent from March and 7.6 percent from the same month last year. READ MORE
The international response to Zimbabwe's land reform programme was swift and punitive. When the US Congress passed ZDERA in December 2001, it was explicitly presented as a response to Zimbabwe’s land reform programme, framing Zimbabwe’s actions as a threat to US foreign policy. READ MORE

CRA MEDIA - Actions speak louder than words. So, focus on winning through your actions rather than trying to win an argument.You need to think long-term if you want to maintain power. Consider all the possible outcomes of your actions and plan accordingly. Don’t accept things that people give to you for free. People will think they have power over you if you do. You won’t be able to exert your authority as easily.

Anchor, a global wealth and asset management company, predicts a moderate increase in food inflation in the coming months, driven by uncertainties in US policy, global market volatility, and rand fluctuations. The UN’s FAO Food Price Index rose 1% in April 2025 to 128.3 points, up 7.6% from April 2024, influenced by currency fluctuations and tariff policy changes.
Suid-Afrikaanse varkboere het kommer uitgespreek oor die voortslepende handelsgesprekke met Amerika en vrees dit kan dalk lei tot die verslapping van bestaande veiligheidsprotokolle. Sulke veranderings kan moontlik nadelige gevolge hê vir die plaaslike varkvleisbedryf en wek kommer oor die toekoms van binnelandse produsente te midde van internasionale handelsverdragte.
South Africa does not export its food supplies without appropriately considering the domestic food needs at the national level. Moreover, the country's food prices remain relatively moderate. Despite this, food insecurity will remain a challenge if households have little to no income.
Boere in die somerreëngebied sukkel weens aanhoudende nat weer om landerye te bereik vir oes, wat lei tot vertraagde oesprosesse. Graan SA meld, volgens Sagis-data, dat silo-lewerings laer as die gemiddelde jaarlikse strooptempo is. Byvoorbeeld, slegs 66 633 ton mielies is in die eerste week van Mei gelewer, 79% minder as die vorige jaar.
Agricultural processing machinery and the necessary logistical means to move product to markets fast and efficiently will be the focus when thousands converge in the Free State for next week’s expo by the National Maize Producers’ Organisation (Nampo).
Dr. Frikkie Maré van die Rooivleisprodusente-organisasie (RPO) sê rooivleisprodusente maak nog nie groot winste nie, maar hoër karkas- en speenkalfpryse bring verligting. A2-beeskarkaspryse het in April tot R67/kg gestyg (21% hoër as verlede jaar), en speenkalfpryse is 16% hoër, met pryse bo R37/kg.
The organic and natural products industry in South Africa, valued at ~R1 billion annually, is transitioning from a niche to a significant economic driver, fueled by consumer demand for health, sustainability, and locally produced goods.
China, Suid-Afrika se grootste mark vir rooivleisuitvoer, het die invoer van Suid-Afrikaanse produkte van diere met gesplete hoewe, insluitend rooivleis, tydelik opgeskort weens aanhoudende uitbrake van bek-en-klouseer. Die besluit, wat onmiddellik in werking tree, is deur die Suid-Afrikaanse departement van landbou aangekondig, volgens dr. Frikkie Maré, uitvoerende hoof van die Rooivleisprodusente-organisasie.
South Africa’s wine industry is raising a glass to a season of outstanding quality and promise. 2025 wine grape harvest has been characterised by exceptional fruit quality, thanks to sustained mild and dry conditions that delivered grapes of superb balance, flavour concentration, and structure – the hallmarks of premium wine production. 2025 grape harvest yielded 1.244 million tonnes from 86 544 hectares.
Die miljardêr en stigter van Microsoft, Bill Gates, gaan oor die volgende twee dekades sowat 200-miljard dollar weggee, waarna sy stigting se deure sal sluit. Volgens Gates sal die geld aan die armstes bewillig word.
We continue to see encouraging agricultural machinery sales in South Africa. For example, tractor sales increased for the fourth consecutive month, up 5% year-on-year in April 2025, with 527 units sold. The combine harvesters' sales were even more encouraging, up 77% year-on-year in April, with 46 units sold.
Navorsers sê die wêreld se rykste 10% mense is sedert 1990 verantwoordelik vir twee derdes van aardverwarming. Die eerste studie wat die uitwerking van gekonsentreerde privaat rykdom op uiterste klimaatgebeurtenisse bepaal, het bevind dat die manier waarop die rykes verbruik en belê, die risiko van dodelike hittegolwe en droogtes aansienlik verhoog het.
The Western Cape Department of Agriculture (WCDoA) renewed five-year Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with various commodity organizations on May 7, 2025, to support new farmers through mentorship, training, inputs, and market access. Partners include the National Wool Growers Association, SA Wines, South African Table Grape Industry, and others.
Die Benede-Oranjerivier is nou amptelik in vloed, sê die Hidrologiese Diens van Namibië, na die rivier vanoggend 5,46 meter by Blouputs gemeet het en 6,10 meter by Sendelingsdrif. Die Zambezi by Katima Mulilo het effe gesak van 5,47 meter na 5,45 meter, en die Okavango by Rundu vloei ook ietwat laer op 6,65 meter. Die Kunene vloei teen 324,5 kubieke meter by Ruacana.
The Department of Agriculture in South Africa is addressing ongoing foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks in KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, and Gauteng, as traditional containment methods have proven ineffective. The Northern and Western Cape remain FMD-free. Outbreaks, ongoing in KZN since 2021, have spread westward, with auctions, particularly one in Utrecht, significantly contributing to the spread.
