The National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC) reports that feed costs, primarily maize and soybeans, constitute 70% of poultry production expenses, significantly impacting the industry when prices spike. In 2023/24, the poultry sector contributed R68.8 billion to South Africa’s agricultural economy, a 172.2% increase from 2010/11, but faces challenges from volatile input costs. Yellow maize prices hit a decade-high above R5,000 per ton in December 2024, while soybean production value surged 727.7% to R14.9 billion from R1.8 billion in 2010/11.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse rosyntjiebedryf toon volhoubare groei en aanpasbaarheid te midde van globale en plaaslike uitdagings, soos bespreek tydens die Raisins SA/FNB Landboupraatjie by die Upington-landbou-ekspo. Die bedryf het ’n rekordoes van meer as 100,000 ton rosyne bereik, met ’n mikpunt van 150,000 ton haalbaar deur beter kultivars, produksiepraktyke, en waterbenutting, sonder noodwendig meer grond. Rosyne word hoofsaaklik langs die Oranjerivier (Noord-Kaap) en Olifantsrivier (Wes-Kaap) verbou, met minimale plaagdruk en chemiese neerslae, wat aan internasionale voedselsveiligheidstandaarde voldoen.

Meat prices surged to a 25-month high, driving food inflation in South Africa, with a year-on-year increase of 6.6% and a month-on-month rise of 2.2% in June 2025. This was primarily due to supply constraints from a foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreak, particularly affecting cattle slaughtering, and a prior ban on Brazilian chicken imports due to bird flu, impacting mechanically deboned meat (MDM) supplies. South Africa, a net MDM importer, faced market panic as Brazil is a key supplier.

Graan SA werk aan ’n projek om die diesel-logboekstelsel te outomatiseer vir ’n doeltreffender digitale dieselrabatstelsel, in samewerking met die Suid-Afrikaanse Inkomstediens (SAID) en produsente. ’n Vrywillige werkgroep beplan ’n gidsprojek van Oktober tot Desember 2025, met die doel om teen Maart 2026 ’n getoetste stelsel voor te lê. Die dieselrabat is ’n belangrike voordeel vir boere, maar moet prakties en bo verdenking wees, sê Corné Louw van Graan SA.
