MASTERPLAN -None of the stakeholders who, alongside the DA in 2022, criticised the Agricultural and Agro-processing Master Plan (AAMP) were invited to the AAMP Executive Oversight Meeting scheduled for 7 October in Stellenbosch. “This is an agricultural master plan without farmers,” said Dr Theo de Jager of SAAI and Bennie van Zyl of TLU-SA. “There is nothing in that plan to excite primary producers.” Their principal objection is that profitability, sustainability, and value-chain efficiency are not meaningfully addressed in the AAMP text.
Sindikate neem die voortou in misdaad. Daarom is dit belangrik dat borgtogaansoeke veral in die geval van veediefstal teengestaan word.’n Pleidooi is op Vrystaat Landbou (VL) se kongres gerig oor die belangrikheid daarvan om borgtog teen te staan wat misdaad op die platteland betref, veral in geval van veediefstal. In meer as 80% van die sake waar dit teengestaan is, in samewerking met die polisie, was die saak suksesvol.“Strafverswarende getuienis is absoluut belangrik, omdat daar meer verliese is as net die (sê nou maar) vyf skape wat gesteel word,” sê Isabel Kruger, VL se veiligheidsverteenwoordiger en spesialis op die gebied van veediefstal.Die boer kan dit self teenstaan.
The annual White Cross Memorial in October honors white farmers killed in the past year, featuring the planting of 34 crosses along the N1 highway near Mokopane, Limpopo, and a convoy of tractors with farming equipment. Kobus Witkruis of the Plaasmoorde Monument emphasized farmers' vital role as the nation's food providers for all races, calling the 34 deaths "heartbreaking" and often senseless, with some attacks involving no theft. He hopes for swift resolution to the violence.Established on June 16, 2004, the Plaasmoorde Monument commemorates victims of farm attacks (affecting both white and black farmers) with ~3,000 white metal crosses symbolizing lives lost since 1990. A central cluster of 925 crosses highlights the site's Christian ethos, while ~20 red crosses denote local casualties. The event underscores ongoing farm violence concerns in South Africa.
Die Durbanse vraghouerhawe is in die 2024 Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) van die Wêreldbank en S&P Global as die swakste presterende hawe wêreldwyd onder 403 hawens geklassifiseer, hoofsaaklik weens lang ankertye vir skeep en stadige op- en aflaaiprosesse (toeskryfbaar aan te min hyskrane, ou toerusting, personeelprobleme en swak koördinering). Transnet beklemtoon egter beduidende verbeterings sedertdien: Die Kaapse hawe het sy telling met ~240 punte opgeknip (een van die grootste stygings globaal), Ngqura met >160 punte, en oor die algemeen het ankertye met 75% gedaal, kraanverskuiwings met 13% gestyg en laai-vermoë met 25% verbeter. Dit kom deur taktiese inisiatiewe soos prosesoptimalisering, toerusting-opgraderings en infrastruktuurbeleggings.
Outstanding articles of the week. Summary of some news Headlines in the Farming and Agriculture media.
South Africa's 2025-26 winter wheat production is now forecast at 2.03 million tonnes, down marginally from the August estimate, but still up 5% from the same period last year. The annual improvement is boosted by the expected better harvest in the Northern Cape, Free State, Eastern Cape, and Limpopo. The Western Cape, which accounts for over half of South Africa's winter wheat production, is set to experience a mild decline in the harvest this year compared to the 2024-25 season because of the unfavourable weather conditions in some parts of the province.

Farming isn’t your typical 9-to-5 gig. It’s a lifestyle that demands early mornings, late nights, and plenty of time operating machinery or walking the land. That’s where Audiocast shine. They’re hands-free, portable, and don’t care if you’re covered in dirt or steering through a muddy field. Unlike a book or a video, a Audiocast doesn’t ask you to stop what you’re doing—it joins you in the cab, the shed, or wherever the day takes you. And farmers are listening. Surveys suggest that a significant chunk of the agricultural community—some estimates say over a third—tune into ag-related podcasts regularly. Whether it’s catching up on market trends, learning about the latest in soil health, or just hearing a good story from another grower, these audio shows have become a go-to resource.

Veediefstal is 'n verwoestende daaglikse werklikheid wat boere ekonomies en emosioneel op hul knieë dwing, met beeste wat R15 000 elk kos en georganiseerde sindikate wat op bestelling steel, dikwels met wreedheid (bv. ore afgesny, nuwe merke).

Die skerp daling in oliepryse, wat die vorige week afgesluit het met ‘n daling van meer as 8% op net bo 64 Amerikaanse dollar ‘n vat. Die kommoditeit is tans net bo 65 dollar ‘n vat.
Oliepryse het die week afgesluit met ‘n daling van meer as 8 persent op net bo 64 Amerikaanse dollar ‘n vat. Dit is die grootste verlies in drie maande. Die verwagte toename in Opul-plus produksie en die Irak/Koerdiese pypleiding wat begin vloei nadat dit vir twee jaar gesluit was het bygedra.
South Africa’s agriculture shows robust growth in 2025 (18.6% Q1, 2.5% Q2 GVA), driven by excellent 2024-25 harvests (19.94 million tonnes grains/oilseeds, +28% y/y) and optimistic sentiment (Agbiz/IDC ACI at 63), but uneven recovery persists, with livestock—half the sector's value—hammered by foot-and-mouth disease (FMD).
‘n Nuwe studie het aan die lig gebring aardverwarming sal waarskynlik teen die einde van die 21ste eeu buitengewoon groot golwe in Afrika se oostelike gebied veroorsaak, veral in die Sahel- en Sahara-streke. Dit word veroorsaak deur ‘n sterker temperatuurverskil tussen streke en ‘n sterker monsoon.
A August 2025 infoQuest-Decapod survey of 300 consumers reveals ongoing economic hardship, with only 15% very satisfied with finances (average rating 5.8/10, up slightly from 5.4 in 2023).

Wetenskaplikes het ‘n geheimsinnige, 1 000 jaar oue saad wat in die Judese Woestyn ontdek is, laat herleef – en die boom wat daaruit gegroei het, kan aan ‘n verlore geslag behoort wat in die Bybel genoem word, sê hulle.

- ENSO (La Niña): Niño 3.4-gebied effens koeler (-0,5°C vir tweede week), met neiging na volle La Niña (piek Desember, dan vinnig verswak). Versterk goeie reën in sentrale/oostelike dele Nov-Des, maar swakker vanaf Jan/Feb, veral wes.
