Rainfall delayed exports, and juice prices have fallen from 2024 highs. Six years after its international debut, South Africa’s homegrown apple brand, Flash Gala, has reached a major milestone: more than 1 million cartons of the variety were exported in a single season for the first time. The achievement underscores South Africa’s growing role as a leading apple exporter in the Southern Hemisphere.

Consider all the possible outcomes of your actions and plan accordingly. Don’t accept things that people give to you for free. People will think they have power over you if you do.

While optimism persists, financial recovery will be slow for summer grains and oilseeds due to the 2024 mid-summer drought and excessive April 2025 rains, which damaged crop quality in some areas.
Landbouminister John Steenhuisen het gesê dat Afrikaners wat Suid-Afrika verlaat het vir die VSA onder ’n vlugtelingprogram ’n “swak keuse” gemaak het.

The South African citrus industry, a global leader in agricultural exports, faces challenges from EU phytosanitary regulations on Citrus Black Spot (CBS) and False Codling Moth (FCM).

Die Minister van Openbare Werke en Infrastruktuur, Dean McPherson sê hulle doen alles moontlik om te verseker dat Suid-Afrikaners nie benadeel word deur die Onteieningswet nie. McPherson het deelgeneem aan ‘n paneelbespreking waar die implikasie van die wetgewing bespreek is.

Die Solidariteitbeweging se hoof van Internasionale Skakeling, Jaco Kleynhans sê Suid-Afrika het ‘n Onteieningswet nodig wat landbou sal bevoordeel. Hy het by die Nampo Oesdag in Bothaville gesê die huidige wet sal nie help om kommersiële landbou te bevorder nie.

Adjunkpresident Paul Mashatile het by die NAMPO Oesdag in Bothaville boere ontmoet en gepleit om in Suid-Afrika te bly, met die belofte dat die regering die landbousektor ondersteun.

At NAMPO 2025, Nedbank futures specialist Shane Naidoo addressed the need for resilience among farmers and financiers to counter volatility in the export market, particularly due to potential 30% US tariffs under the Trump administration, currently paused until mid-June.
