South Africa’s macadamia industry, the world’s largest, faces a potential R460 million annual loss due to a looming 30% U.S. tariff on exports, which account for about 20% of its macadamia sales. The 2024/2025 harvest, nearly complete, saw a significant volume reduction, with South Africa’s crop forecast revised down from 93,433 to 85,166 tons DNIS, and Australia reporting its lowest crop in a decade. Quality issues, including late insect damage, have further impacted the harvest. Slow U.S. sales, particularly for style 4L nuts used in confectionery, have led to an oversupply, as American buyers hesitate due to tariff uncertainties. China’s zero-tariff policy on imports from 53 African countries, announced in June 2025, is prompting South African exporters to shift focus to the Chinese market and explore non-traditional markets like India.

  

Die departement van water en sanitasie het ’n nuwe prysstrategie aangekondig wat die maksimum toelaatbare waterprysverhogings vir sektore soos landbou geleidelik sal afskaf. Die strategie, in Junie in die Staatskoerant gepubliseer na meer as ’n dekade se ontwikkeling, sal na verwagting in April 2026 ingestel word na goedkeuring deur die minister van finansies. ’n Parlementêre debat het kommer uitgespreek oor moontlike voedselprysstygings en risiko’s vir kwesbare boerderygemeenskappe. Dr. Sean Phillips, direkteur-generaal, sê die strategie is nodig om onderhoud aan besproeiingsinfrastruktuur te finansier, wat voorheen deur apartheidswette beperk is om wit boere te bevoordeel.

 

South African citrus exports to the U.S. face uncertainty due to a looming 30% tariff set to take effect on 1 August 2025, prompting growers and shippers to consider diverting shipments or slowing exports. Despite this, current shipments of mandarins (marketed as Peelz) and navel oranges continue steadily, with a 25% increase in exports over the first six weeks of the season compared to last year, driven by advanced maturity and higher brix clementines. The season, which began in early June and typically ends in late September or mid-October, has seen strong demand and quality, ensuring a smooth transition from domestic to imported citrus.

’n Navorsingsverslag deur die Universiteit van Noordwes, gelei deur prof. Peet van der Merwe en dr. Andrea Saayman, toon dat jagtoerisme ’n ekonomiese impak van ongeveer R44 miljard per jaar in Suid-Afrika het en ’n belangrike deel van die landbousektor uitmaak. Dit skep 95,000 werksgeleenthede, hoofsaaklik vir laer-geskoalde werkers in landelike gebiede, met ’n waardevermenigvuldigingsfaktor van 2,97, wat landbou, handel, verblyf en dienste bevoordeel. Internasionale jagters spandeer gemiddeld R478,000 per jagtog, plaaslike jagters R63,300 per seisoen. Jagtoerisme ondersteun bewaring deur grondeienaars aan te spoor om habitats te herstel, met private wildgeb Usage: 8,000/50,000 tokens used (16%)iede (20 miljoen hektaar) wat meer wild huisves as nasionale parke.

A parliamentary report on farm safety acknowledges the extreme brutality of farm murders in South Africa, marking a breakthrough by recognizing their abnormality compared to the general murder rate.

Early indications already suggest that the La Niña may be a reality again in the 2025-26 summer crop season. This would benefit South Africa’s agriculture, giving us another superb production year.

Italy’s lime demand has surged with the summer season, driven by the beverage sector and a tightening supply, pushing wholesale prices to €10–14.

Handel tussen Suid-Afrika en die VSA is onstuimig, met ’n dreigende 30%-verhoging in Amerikaanse invoertariewe op sekere Suid-Afrikaanse goedere vanaf 1 Augustus 2025, en ’n moontlike addisionele 10%-“straftarief” vir Brics+-lande, wat ’n totale verhoging van 40% kan meebring.
South Africa is currently experiencing ongoing outbreaks of foot and mouth disease (FMD) across several provinces, including KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Gauteng, and most recently, the Free State. These outbreaks have led to livestock movement restrictions and are affecting the country’s red meat trade on international markets.

Die Europese Unie berei ‘n pakket tariewe voor wat op goedere ter waarde van 84 miljard Amerikaanse dollar teen die VSA gehef sal word, terwyl hy pogings verskerp om ‘n handelsooreenkoms te bereik en ‘n trans-Atlantiese handelsoorlog met president Donald Trump te voorkom.

Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago expressed concern over an 80% slump in South African car exports to the U.S. following import tariffs imposed by the Trump administration in April 2025. A looming 30% tariff, effective 1 August 2025, threatens around 100,000 job losses, particularly in agriculture and automotive sectors.

President Cyril Ramaphosa het tydens die 2025/2026 Begrotingsdebat in die Nasionale Vergadering aangekondig dat die regering meer as ’n triljoen rand oor die volgende drie jaar in infrastruktuur sal belê om paaie, hawens, spoorweë, energie- en watersisteme te vernuwe.

Die Departement van Landbou het bevestig dat daar ‘n geval van bek-en-klouseer is op ‘n plaas in die Deneysville-gebied in die Vrystaat. Die oorsprong van die uitbreking word vermoedelik met ‘n veevoer-operasie in ‘n buurprovinsie verbind. Die plaas is onder kwarantyn en beheermaatreëls is ingestel. Dit is die tweede bevestigde geval in die Vrystaat. Uitbreking by ‘n kommersiële boerdery in die Kroonstad-gebied is vroeër die week bevestig. Alle vee op dié betrokke plaas is sedertdien ingeënt.
