“Current predictions focus on the spring and early summer seasons and indicate wetter conditions along the south-eastern coastal areas during spring as well as the central parts in early summer. Drier conditions are expected over most of the northeastern half of the country for the entire forecast period,” the report read. The past summer saw South Africa in the grip of the El Niño weather pattern, which triggered a searing drought over much of the grain belt. South Africa’s Crop Estimates Committee forecasts 2023-24 summer grain and oilseed production at 15.69 million tons, down 22% from the previous season.  Things have been far worse elsewhere in the region with historic levels of hunger seen in Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe. 

Die buro vir voedsel- en landboubeleid (BFAP) het pas in sy vooruitskouing tot 2033 gesê groeivooruitsigte vir die landbou se bruto binnelandse produk (BBP) lyk swak oor die volgende dekade. Die daadwerklike uitvoering van die meesterplan kan groei egter ’n groot hupstoot gee. Dr Theo de Jager, direksievoorsitter van Saai, se dat daar êrens toegewings sal moet wees. Hy het gesê die spanning is besig om op te laai namate daar aan die een kant druk is vir die onmiddellike toepassing van die plan, terwyl ander belanghebbendes op aanpassing aandring om die plan meer markgerig te maak.  ’n Alternatiewe meesterplan word glo deur onder meer Saai, TLU SA, die Landbouwerkgewersorganisasie en Wildbedryf SA opgestel. Een wat hulle voel is meer “kommersieel georiënteerd” as die ondertekende plan, en wat nie soveel klem op transformasie plaas nie. Hulle is ook suur dat vakbonde by die opstel van die meesterplan betrek is, maar geen werkgewersorganisasie nie, en wil hê die versoenbaarheid van die twee planne moet ondersoek word.(NS) - Dis normaal vir enige Landbouer om senuweeagtig te raak oor gesprekke en enige verandering van landbou beleid en  Meesterplanne as daar nie enige  Kommersieele Landbouers of alle landbou organisasies teenwoordig is nie.

South Africa is the world’s 12^th biggest energy consumer in terms of kilowatt-hours used per dollar GDP according to 2022 figures compiled by Our World in Data. Shockingly, South Africa is the world’s second-largest carbon emitter per unit of energy produced. About a third of our carbon emissions are linked to our exports. “South Africa’s electricity sector is responsible for 41% of our carbon emissions,” said André de Ruyter, former CEO of Eskom. By comparison, the next-biggest contributors, the petrochemical industry and the transport sector, are each responsible for 11%, with agriculture and forestry in fourth place at 10%.  South Africa had a plan,” said De Ruyter. “Government policy in terms of its 2019 Integrated Resource Plan was to shut down about 22 gigawatts or roughly half of Eskom’s installed capacity by 2035.” By replacing poorly maintained, unreliable coal-fired power stations at the end of their economic lives with renewable energy, South Africa could responsibly and gradually decarbonise the energy sector. This plan was in place until 2023 when the government issued a new Integrated Resource Plan.

Die landboumaatskappy Senwes het Maandag bekendgemaak dat hy in die nadraai van die onlangse vernietigende brande wat dele van die Noordwes en Vrystaat geteister het, ʼn bykomende bedrag van R500 000 aan boere en georganiseerde landbou in dié gebiede deur sy AgriRewards+ program gaan bewillig. Die maatskappy skenk R270 000 aan Vrystaat Landbou en R180 000 aan Agri NW om verligting te help bied. Senwes wil ook graag individue bystaan wat verskilmakers is, en het aangekondig dat hy vanjaar vir die eerste keer ʼn “Plaaspad-held” aanwys, wat vanjaar toegeken word aan die agtienjarige Frikkie Tolmay. Volgens Francois Strydom, uitvoerende hoof van Senwes, gaan die maatskappy R50 000 aan die Tolmay-gesin van die Fochville-omgewing skenk om met mediese onkostes te help nadat Frikkie (jnr.) onverskrokke gehelp het om van hulle werkers uit ʼn vlammehel na veiligheid te bring.

The transport sector is crucial to a country of South Africa’s size, said macro-logistics researcher and consultant Prof. Jan Havenga. Havenga teaches at Stellenbosch University and is a director of the GAIN Group, a logistics and transport consultancy. He consults to the World Bank and the National Logistics Crisis Committee, established in 2023 to tackle critical issues in the transport sector. South Africa is about the size of Germany and France combined, but its GDP is nearly 18 times smaller. “We are a spatially challenged country and have to move freight over huge distances for the same returns as other countries that require much less transport,” he said. According to GAIN’s freight demand model, South Africa needs 1.4% of world maritime and 1.1% of surface freight to keep its economy going. Yet our GDP is less than 0.4% of the world’s total. Coal, manganese, fresh produce, and surplus maize exports, as well as wheat and finished goods imports, must be moved over vast distances.
