Late in 2020, Hollard Insure joined forces with Farmingportal.co.za and Agri News Net to present the Young Agri Writers competition, to encourage fresh, young media voices in the agricultural space. And they made themselves heard. Their work had to be original, but could focus on any aspect of the agricultural sector.
“We were thrilled to receive a wide variety of entries from aspiring young agri writers,”says Andries Wiese, National Business Development Manager and Head of Agri for Hollard Insure.
“In judging each entry, we took into account various elements: whether the entry provided a fresh view on the agricultural sector; a different approach that reflected diversity of thought and view; new voices; demographics that represent diversity in agriculture; technical aspects, as well as thought about who and what constitute agriculture; solutions for both commercial and small-scale farmers; and Hollard’s own commitment to supporting youth, better futures for more people and the agri sector.
“We were impressed with the quality of work submitted, which – while it made the judging process more challenging – showed that there is a plethora of young journalism talent out there, just waiting to be discovered and nurtured,” says Wiese.

THE rising fuel prices are likely to add cost pressures on the South African farming sector.
