After a depressing year in which nearly half of all wine grapes in California might not have been harvested, wineries might find themselves scrambling to find grapes this summer, according to an industry analyst. The opposite is true for whiskey. American distilleries are so full of inventory that some big companies not only won't make whiskey this year: they might not make any for several years. READ MORE
The South African agricultural industry is interlinked to global markets. A substantial amount of output is exported while many of the inputs into farming are imported. In recent decades, a stable global environment supported the sector's growth, even it navigated various domestic challenges at multiple points. The sector is now at a point where exports for 2025 are likely to have crossed the US$14 billion mark for the first time, a significant achievement from the US$2 billion in exports in the early 2000's. The ease of access to farming inputs from various countries also ensures that South African agriculture can improve its productivity and output. READ MORE

- 2023: Droë Januarie, gevolg deur baie nat Februarie.
- 2025: Droë Januarie, gemiddelde Februarie, baie nat Maart–April (deur versterkte swak La Niña).

Die burokrasie en staatsbeheer rondom die hantering van bek-en-klouseer (FMD) in Suid-Afrika is inderdaad 'n groot frustrasie vir boere, soos jy beskryf, en dit word wyd in die bedryf uitgelig (veral in Januarie 2026).
With ongoing FMD outbreaks in neighbouring South Africa, there are frequent questions about why cattle in Namibia’s FMD-free zone are not vaccinated as a preventive measure.Namibia’s approach is aimed at protecting its internationally recognised FMD-free status without routine vaccination. This status is critical for access to high-value export markets.
Die droogte in die Wes-Kaap en aanliggende binneland vererger tans daagliks. Die verwagting is dat die res van die jaar ook droër as normaal gaan wees en dat watertekorte oor die grootste deel van die provinsie (maar ook in die Oos- en Noord-Kaapse Karoo) gaan vererger. Dit kan sosio-maatskaplike, ekonomiese en selfs politieke gevolge inhou wat uiters destabiliserend kan wees.
South Africa's 2025-26 wheat harvest is nearly complete, with 1.64 million tonnes (82% of the expected 1.99 million tonnes) already delivered to commercial silos in the first 16 weeks of the marketing year.
Die huidige bek-en-klouseer (BKS)-krisis is nie ’n skielike ramp nie, maar die gevolg van jare se geïgnoreerde waarskuwings, nie-geïmplementeerde aanbevelings en ’n verouderde, sentralistiese staatsbeheerstelsel wat nie by veranderende siekterisiko’s aangepas het nie.
South Africa's 2025-26 wheat harvest is nearly complete, with 1.64 million tonnes (82% of the expected 1.99 million tonnes) already delivered to commercial silos in the first 16 weeks of the marketing year.
Die tyd vir praat en werkswinkels is nou verby. Ons kan nie wag vir ’n 10-jaar plan terwyl boere se lewensbestaan vernietig word nie.Privaat toediening van entstof is die antwoord. Die Departement wil gesentraliseerde beheer hê, terwyl die prioriteit die kortste ketting vanaf die invoerder tot by die plaas moet wees.
South Africa’s agriculture sector enters 2026 on a positive note, building on a strong finish to 2025 and showing potential for another solid performance. Key drivers include favourable production conditions, moderating input costs, robust export demand, improved logistics, and progress in biosecurity management,
South Africa’s aging concrete grain silos, many built in the latter half of the 20th century and now 50–70 years old, face serious structural challenges as they near or exceed their intended lifespan.
Die Vryheidsfront Plus doen 'n beroep op owerhede om gebiede waar bek-en-klouseer nog nie voorkom nie, te beskerm te midde van ontwrigtings in veemarkte.
South Africa is lagging behind its fellow original BRICS partners (Brazil, Russia, India, China) in urgently pursuing new export markets and diversifying trade, while the others actively secure free trade agreements (FTAs) to strengthen their positions in a rapidly shifting global environment.
Meer as tien mense is in verskeie state van die VSA dood, te midde van 'n reusewinterstorm wat groot dele van Amerika raak. Sommige nuusagentskappe raam die dodetal nader aan twintig.
The Citrus Growers’ Association (CGA) has urged its members to provide detailed information on road conditions damaged by recent floods, particularly in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, to support government assessment and repair efforts.
Januarie 2026 word gekenmerk deur uiterstes in die somerreënstreek: sekere noordoostelike areas soos die Krugerwildtuin het meer as 600 mm reën in ongeveer 10 dae ontvang, terwyl ander dele, veral die westelike Mpumalanga (insluitend Delmas, Balfour en Standerton), baie droog gebly het.
Kommersiële besproeiingsboere in Suid-Afrika staar vanjaar twee groot kwessies in die gesig: die staat se vermindering van watertoewysings (veral by lisensiehernuwings en oordragte) en die vraag of ou waterrekeninge ná drie jaar verjaar.
Global oilseed markets weakened significantly from late 2025 into early 2026, driven by improving supply prospects in South America and concerns over soft demand.The International Grains Council (IGC) reported sharp declines in soybean export prices since mid-November, with Chicago futures retreating under bearish fundamentals.
'n Reuse-winterstorm verlam die ooste van Amerika met meer as 'n 800-duisend mense wat sonder elektrisiteit is en lugdienste wat vandag meer as 10-duisend vlugte gekanselleer het. President Donald Trump het die storm tot 'n ramp verklaar in 12 state.
South Africa’s Association of Meat Importers and Exporters (AMIE) has welcomed the government’s recently announced Plan A for trade resilience, describing it as closely aligned with industry priorities of export diversification, job security, and protecting rural value chains tied to meat production.
Namibië se pluimveesektor groei vinnig, maar voer steeds groot hoeveelhede vleis in – meer as 11 000 ton in die eerste helfte van 2025. Die land bly afhanklik van ingevoerde geel mielies en soja vir veevoer.
South African DA leader and Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen has publicly rejected US President Donald Trump’s renewed claims of a “white genocide” in South Africa.
Die burgemeester van Kaapstad, Geordin Hill-Lewis, het die Nasionale Energiereguleerder versoek om onmiddellik planne te staak om tot 'n verdubbeling van Eskom se tariefverhogings toe te laat.
