Vrystaat Landbou (VL) het sy skok en sterk veroordeling uitgespreek oor twee wrede plaasaanvalle die afgelope naweek in die Vrystaat. ’n 72-jarige boervrou van Bultfontein is Vrydagaand oorrompel, erg aangerand, in haar motor se kattebak toegesluit en vir bykans ’n volle dag en nag in die snikhete weer vasgekeer gelaat tot sy Saterdagmiddag ontdek en bevry is.
The South African Government welcomes the World Bank's latest economic outlook, forecasting 1.3% GDP growth in 2025, rising to 1.4% in 2026 and 1.5% in 2027. This positive projection is driven by improved electricity supply, a strong agricultural harvest, rising business confidence, ongoing reforms in energy and logistics, and increased public investment.
Die Melkprodusente-organisasie (MPO) gaan veg om deel van die melkheffing-geld (voorheen na Sampro) te gebruik vir die aankoop van bek-en-klouseer-entstowwe, sê uitvoerende hoof Fanie Ferreira. Die siekte kos melkboere R5 500–R6 000 per koei, dus R5–6 miljoen vir ’n eenheid met 1 000 koeie in die eerste ses weke.
UK dairy farmers are facing a severe crisis in early 2026, with farmgate milk prices plummeting to around 29p per litre — well below the average cost of production of 40p per litre — forcing many into significant losses (e.g., £660,000+ projected annual loss for a 600-acre farm).
Suid-Afrikaanse wolpryse het op die 17de veiling van die 2025/26-seisoen die hoogste vlakke van die seisoen bereik, gedryf deur ’n sterk openingsveiling in Australië. Die gesertifiseerde Merino-aanwyser staan op R230,18/kg en die Alle Merino-aanwyser op R224,23/kg – onderskeidelik 5% hoër as die eerste veiling vanjaar en 32,8% hoër as dieselfde veiling verlede seisoen.
Severe flooding from prolonged heavy rainfall since early January 2026 is disrupting agriculture and isolating communities in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, with citrus growers particularly hard-hit. Affected areas include Maruleng, Ba-Phalaborwa, Greater Tzaneen, Greater Letaba, Collins Chabane, Greater Giyani, Nkomazi, Mbombela, and Bushbuckridge.
Agt Europese lande het gewaarsku dat die VSA se tariefdreigemente oor beheer van Groenland transatlantiese betrekkinge bedreig, en tot 'n gevaarlike afwaartse spiraal kan lei. Die jongste reaksie kom van sleutel NAVO-lande, insluitend die VSA se bondgenote Frankryk, Duitsland en die Verenigde Koninkryk.
Rwanda's National Agricultural Export Development Board (NAEB) has increased the farm-gate price for coffee cherries to Rwf750 per kilogram — a 25% rise from last year — putting farmers at the center of the sector's progress.
Oudpresident Thabo Mbeki sê die Eskom-kragkrisis van 2008 was opsetlike politieke inmenging en nie meganies nie. Mbeki het in Bloemfontein gesê Eskom is gedwing om ʼn noodtoestand te verklaar en steenkool sonder tenderprosesse aan te koop, wat pryse oornag verdubbel het.
Heavy, relentless rainfall over the past five days has caused severe flooding in Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, particularly near the Mozambican border. Entire villages, including parts of Greater Giyani, Mbaula, and Munghonghoma, are submerged or isolated, with roads, bridges, and critical infrastructure damaged or washed away.
Mpumalanga-premier Mandla Ndlovu sê voorlopige assesserings toon dat vloedverwante infrastruktuurskade in die provinsie sowat 2,1 miljard rand kan beloop. Swaar reënval het reeds 20 lewens geëis en meer as 1 200 huishoudings geraak.
Renowned economist Dawie Roodt warns that South Africa faces severe political risks, rising fiscal vulnerability, and deep structural economic weakness in 2026 if it does not adopt the right policies.
AgriSA notes the announcement made today by the minister of Agriculture, John Steenhuisen, outlining the strengthened national foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) strategy and acknowledges the considerable efforts underway within the Department of Agriculture to stabilise the current situation.
