Sustaining our precious resources while producing more and better. Land, soil and water are the foundations of our world’s food supply. Yet, these resources are under strain. Discover what the world could look like if we stay on the current path or if we choose a more sustainable route. Feeding a growing global population will require more food, feed and fibre. But continuing our current path is putting unsustainable pressure on land, soil, water and ecosystems. Between 1964 and 2023, most of the growth in agricultural production came from intensification, with agricultural land expanding by only 8%. Yet this intensification has often degraded the very lands that provide 95% of our food, while both degradation and expansion drive biodiversity loss, carbon emissions and the decline of critical ecosystems. The below figure shows how production kept rising between 1992-2022, despite shrinking cropland area per capita. Today, more than 1.6 billion hectares of land are already degraded by unsustainable management. About 60% of this human-induced degradation takes place on agricultural land, directly impacting the foundations of our agrifood systems. The below chart highlights that the human-induced land degradation primarily affects our productive land, cropland and pastures. Click here to read full article.

Land tenure is the relationship, defined in law and customs, that people as individuals or groups have with land. It involves a bundle of rights to land, such as the right to use, sell, or bequeath land. Secure tenure is crucial for people to have secure homes, for food production, and for the economy. For many it is also central to their identity and culture. While there is broad agreement on the importance of effective governance of secure land tenure, the best way to achieve this is the subject of much debate. The core contestation is between commodifying land through individual rights and markets, versus protecting it as a social good through communal rights to prevent landlessness and inequality. An overlapping debate is between more customary or traditional systems and those based on statutory law and democratic principles. Food systems, economic justice, and agrarian reform have been the focus of my scholarship over the last 20 years. Seeing both progress and the same old debates continue, my two co-researchers and I felt it a good moment to examine what has happened with land tenure governance and what we can learn from that.

United States Senator John Kennedy has introduced the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) Extension and Bilateral Engagement Act, known as Agoa 2.0, to renew the trade programme for two years. But South Africa has been targeted for exclusion from Agoa 2.0 due to its alignments with US adversaries. The Bill was introduced to the US Senate on September 30, shortly after Agoa lapsed, impacting duty-free access for 32 eligible sub-Saharan African nations and disrupting billions in exports reliant on South African logistics corridors. It was tabled and sent to the Committee on Finance but no further action was taken as the US government was in shutdown for 43 days and only recently reopened. The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition revealed the existence of the Bill during a presentation to the portfolio committee on Tuesday. It said trade negotiations with the US were ongoing and it had not given up hope that Agoa would be revived as there was support for it among Republicans and Democrats. The Bill introduces strict eligibility criteria, including democratic governance, rule of law, human rights protections, anti-corruption measures, and open markets. Click here to read full article.

The Constitutional Court’s judgment in Van Wyk and Others v Minister of Employment and Labour is not just a technical fix to South Africa’s leave laws. It is a reset of how we understand work, care and family. It moves parenting out of the shadows of “women’s issues” and into the centre of workplace design. The facts of the case are simple but powerful. Before their son was born, Werner and Ika van Wyk agreed that Werner would be the primary caregiver so that Ika could continue running her businesses. When he asked his employer for four months’ leave, he was told that as a father, the law allowed him only ten days. He ultimately took six months of unpaid leave, with serious financial and career consequences, while the law shielded the income and job security of birth mothers far more than that of other parents. Supported by Sonke Gender Justice and the Commission for Gender Equality, the Van Wyks challenged the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) and the Unemployment Insurance Act (UIF Act). The Constitutional Court agreed that the framework unfairly discriminated between different kinds of parents and even between adopted children based on age, violating the rights to equality and dignity.

In this week’s episode of AgriView, we unpack the drivers behind South Africa’s exceptional export growth: ample harvests across fruit, vegetables, grains and oilseeds; solid global demand; and meaningful improvements in port performance thanks to collaboration between Transnet, organised agriculture, and the private sector. Watch the episode here.

Statistics South Africa is expected to release the third-quarter GDP numbers, these will give a clearer sense of whether the country is on track to push growth above 1% this year. There’s cautious optimism in the air — both the National Treasury and the Reserve Bank have revised their growth forecasts upward. Our business reporter, Ntokozo Khumalo spoke to Agbiz chief economist Wandile Sihlobo. Click here to watch.

The wheat farmers in South Africa are working hard to complete the harvest for the 2025-26 season. They have already made impressive progress. But the harvest will likely continue into early January 2026, in some areas. The farmers have delivered about 960,378 tonnes to commercial silos since the start of October 2025, marking the beginning of this new marketing year. This crop was planted at the beginning of May 2025. This volume delivered so far equals 47% of South Africa’s expected 2025-26 wheat harvest of 2.03 million tonnes. The expected harvest is up 5% from the 2024-25 season. 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 expected to experience a mild decline in the harvest this year compared to the 2024-25 season due to unfavourable weather conditions in some parts of the province. When the Crop Estimates Committee reviewed the harvest this week, they left the wheat production estimate roughly unchanged from last month (down just 0.3%). Click here to read full article.

We continue to receive encouraging reports on the prospects for La Niña-induced rainfall during the 2025-26 summer season. Most regions of the country have received excellent rain since the start of October. Soil moisture has improved notably across various areas of the country (see Exhibit 1). The latest forecasts from the International Research Institute for Climate and Society at Columbia University (IRI) indicate a high likelihood of La Niña-induced rains continuing through to February 2026. This period covers the planting through to the flowering of the summer crop, which are stages that require more moisture for development. After the flowering period, warmer, sunnier weather typically helps with crop maturation. Better rainfall prospects are beneficial not only to field crops but also to the livestock and horticulture subsectors. For the livestock subsector, improvements in the grazing veld, at a time when feed prices are also falling, are a welcome development, as the industry has struggled with financial pressures due to foot-and-mouth disease. Moreover, the start of vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease on the 12 million head of cattle nationwide (with 7.2 million in commercial herds) suggests the industry may finally be entering a recovery period.  Click here to read full article.

I am unsure if most people noticed, but South Africa's 2024-25 maize crop of 16.44 million tonnes is the second-largest on record. The large harvest has boosted export supplies and lowered domestic prices, ultimately benefiting consumers. The harvest of 16.44 million tonnes is up 28% from the previous season, mainly driven by higher yields across South Africa's various regions. This is a welcome development, as we worried at the start of the season that late rains would negatively impact the yields. The overall crop has turned out quite well. The yields were the major boost, as the area planted for the 2024-25 maize crop is actually down mildly from the 2023-24 season, at 2.59 million hectares. In essence, the favourable La Niña-induced rains are the core factor behind the yield improvement, along with farmers' efforts to nurture the crops. About 8.38 million tonnes are white maize, with 8.06 million tonnes yellow maize, for a total of 16.44 million tonnes. Importantly, the 16.44 million tonnes harvest is well above South Africa's annual maize needs of approximately 12.00 million tonnes, indicating a surplus and continued net maize exports.

We feel at ease that South Africa's 2025-26 winter crop harvest will remain at decent levels. The data released this afternoon by South Africa's Crop Estimates Committee shows that the 2025-26 winter crop harvest is at 2.76 million tonnes, down mildly by 0.5% from the previous month. This estimate comprises wheat, barley, canola, oats and sweet lupines. The mild downward revisions are mainly on wheat (0.3%), barley (1%), and oats (6%). Still, the current overall winter crop production estimate is up 4% from the 2024-25 production season. We are now on the fourth production estimate with six more to follow. However, at this stage, the figures are more realistic and unlikely to change significantly as the harvest progresses. For the major winter crop, wheat, farmers have delivered about 960,378 tonnes to commercial silos since the start of October 2025. This volume equals 47% of South Africa's expected 2025-26 wheat harvest of 2.03 million tonnes. In the expected overall 2.76 million tonnes of South Africa's 2025-26 winter crop harvest, approximately 2.03 million tonnes are wheat. The harvest is up 5% from the 2024-25 season. The annual improvement is boosted by the expected better harvest in the Northern Cape, Free State, Eastern Cape, and Limpopo. Click here to read full article.

The livestock and poultry industries account for nearly half of South Africa's farming fortunes. Thus, when there are frequent cases of animal disease, there tends to be panic in the sector about the impact of such diseases on growth. In recent years, the cattle industry has struggled with foot-and-mouth disease, leading to temporary closures of some key export markets and an increasing financial burden on farmers. On various occasions, the Department of Agriculture, in collaboration with organised agriculture, has explored ways to contain the spread of the disease. Still, its ongoing occurrence and severity this year compelled South Africa to adjust its longstanding approach to addressing foot-and-mouth disease and transition to national vaccination. We welcome this decision and believe that if executed well, it will help the country control the disease. South Africa is not the first country to take this path. Argentina and Brazil are among the countries that have opted for vaccination against foot-and-mouth disease in cattle. At such a time when any country has managed to control the disease, vaccination typically stops or pauses. Click here to read full article.

We have long signalled that 2025 will be a recovery period for South Africa's agriculture. But this recovery is uneven. On the positive side, ample grain, oilseed, sugarcane, fruit, wine, and vegetable production support annual recovery. Meanwhile, on the negative side, foot-and-mouth disease continues to add pressure to the sector. The livestock and poultry account for nearly half of the farming sector's fortunes, and therefore, when they experience challenges, the entire sector feels the impact. It is this nuance that has led to yet another mild growth of South Africa's agriculture in the third quarter of 2025. South Africa's agricultural gross value added expanded by 1.1% change quarter-on-quarter (seasonally adjusted) in the third quarter, from a 2.5% q-o-q expansion in the second quarter. While the subdued performance remains encouraging, it does also dwarf the excellent performance in the various crops. For example, South Africa's 2024-25 summer grains and oilseeds production is at 20.2 million tonnes, up by 30% from the previous year. This figure comprises maize, soybean, sunflower seed, groundnuts, sorghum, and dry beans. Click here to read full article.

I have no issue with what the Eastern Cape Premier, Mr Oscar Mabuyane, writes this morning in the Daily Dispatch, a local newspaper. Among other things, he outlines the benefits of the recent upgrades to the N2 Highway Wild Coast, which are expected to ease logistics in the region. Mabuyane also outlines the promise of the digital infrastructure rollout underway, the upgrades to Mthatha airport, and the gains they will bring, particularly in rural regions. Other aspects he writes about include potential water infrastructure projects, the promise of tourism, and agriculture, among other sectors. In essence, I support some of these interventions. What we need is focused implementation. You see, I have been troubled for some time by the Eastern Cape’s sluggish economic progress, higher unemployment, poverty, and the provincial government’s inept service delivery. And yes, I know there has been some good work in various regions of the province. For example, the national road network from Port St Johns to Gqeberha is in admirable condition following recent improvements, and Premier Mabuyane correctly highlights it. This has improved travel ease and supports businesses, especially agribusinesses that rely heavily on these road networks. Click here to read full article.

The soybean industry remains one of South Africa’s success stories in agriculture and is now breaking new records. The country harvested a record soybean crop in the 2024-25 season, estimated at 2.771 million tonnes, up 50% from the previous season. This is on the back of the expansion in area plantings and the higher yields following favourable rainfall. Significantly, this harvest marginally exceeded the last ample crop of 2.770 million tonnes in the 2022-23 season. This abundant harvest further entrenches South Africa’s position as a net soybean exporter. Importantly, this is remarkable progress, given that in the 2010s South Africa was a net importer of soybean oilcake, bringing in close to a million tonnes a year. We are now in a far better position than we were in that distant past. We are now a net exporter. What follows is a brief synopsis of how we got to this excellent position: a superb soybean harvest. In the 2010s, South Africa experienced a strong demand for soybean oilcake or meal. The growing demand for oilcake, in turn, was underpinned by increased consumption of high-protein foods, particularly poultry products, in the country. Click here to read full article. 

We continue to receive encouraging notes about the prospects of La Niña in the 2025/2026 summer season. The La Niña-induced rains will help support field crops, horticulture and grazing veld for livestock. The farmers are optimistic and plan to increase area plantings, primarily of field crops. One aspect of the agricultural sector that has posed a significant challenge is the livestock industry, which struggles with foot-and-mouth disease. But South Africa is embarking on a nationwide vaccination campaign. Vaccinating more than 12-million cattle (about 7.2-million are in the commercial herd) will be a considerable undertaking. The better weather outlook, combined with the vaccination campaign, provides optimism that we may transition from a “mixed recovery” in 2025 to a “better recovery” in 2026. We remain optimistic.

Each year, as harvesters sweep across the fields and trucks queue at depots, the same question arises: Where will all this grain go? For decades, the answer was straightforward – into silos. Those towering landmarks across the countryside have long symbolised both food security and commercial stability. But times have changed. Advances in technology, coupled with changes in ownership structures, production systems, logistics, and financing, have prompted the industry to rethink its approach. Today, a variety of alternatives – from polyethylene grain bags to bulk bunkers and even ‘grain dams’ – are available. Each option offers advantages, economic considerations, and potential drawbacks. Silos: The benchmark Traditional tower silos remain the benchmark for grain storage. Constructed from concrete or corrugated steel, they can last for decades with proper maintenance and provide excellent control over temperature, aeration, and pest management. Operational costs for silos are generally competitive when compared with other storage methods. However, their high initial capital investment means that they make the most sense for those taking a long-term view of grain storage.

This update provides a consolidated overview of the South African logistics network and the current state of international trade. At our container terminals, an average of 9 865 TEUs was handled daily, a decrease from 10 437 TEUs the previous week. Port operations were mainly impacted by adverse weather conditions, vacant berths, as well as equipment challenges and shortages. To put this into perspective, more than 80 operational hours were conceded at the Port of Cape Town this week due to strong winds, as equipment breakdowns and inclement weather prevented optimal operational performance in Durban. Adverse weather, vacant berths and equipment challenges ensured operational delays at our Eastern Cape Ports, while marine equipment challenges proved to be the main operational constraint at the Port of Richards Bay. The latest reports from TFR suggest that the annual shutdown of the ConCor line commenced earlier this week and will continue until around 27 November. For the first six days of the shutdown, only one train will run on the line to transport the most urgent cargo. From next Monday, there will be a total shutdown where no trains will run on the line for the week.  Click here to read full report. 

South Africa continues to send most of its fruit exports to regional markets within the Southern African Customs Union and the Southern African Development Community. According to Wandile Sihlobo, chief economist at Agbiz, about 90 cents of every dollar earned from agricultural exports into Africa comes from Southern African partners. Fruit exports to the continent include apples, pears, and fruit juices. Sihlobo said these nearby markets remain central to South Africa's export footprint but added that long-term growth potential is limited. He noted that expansion into North Africa is constrained by strong, established supply chains linked to the European Union. East and West Africa offer potential under the African Continental Free Trade Area, but Sihlobo pointed to non-tariff barriers, corruption that increases business costs, and fragmented value chains resulting from weak infrastructure. He said that Nigeria and Kenya each account for only 2 per cent of South Africa's agricultural exports, even though Nigeria spends more than US$6 billion a year on agricultural imports, mainly from Brazil, the US, China, Russia, Canada, New Zealand, and Germany.

South African food inflation declined for the third consecutive month, in October, the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP) has highlighted in its latest “Food Inflation Brief”. (The BFAP used Statistics South Africa data.) Food inflation was recorded at 3.9%, in year-on-year terms, in that month. In month-on-month terms, food inflation in October was actually deflation of -0.2%. In contrast, consumer price index (CPI headline inflation in October continued on an upward path, reaching 3.6% year-on-year and 0.1% month-on-month. Food inflation contributed 0.7 percentage points to year-on-year CPI headline inflation in October, but zero points to the month-on-month CPI headline inflation figure. Regarding wider factors that affected South African agriculture and food prices, in October the rand appreciated by 1.6%, year-on-year, against the dollar, and by 1%, month-on-month. The CPI index for “electricity and other fuels” was 8.2%, year-on-year, but zero percent, month-on-month. The CPI index for “fuel” was 3.3%, year-on-year, and 0.1%, month-on-month.

South Africa’s Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Parks Tau, has provided insights into international trade negotiations on Sunday, emphasising multilateral cooperation and Africa’s emerging strategic role. Speaking at the Group of 20 (G20) Leaders’ Summit, Tau highlighted the main theme of the summit, 'Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability', which focused on overcoming diplomatic challenges, particularly regarding trade policies and the absence of the United States. The leaders adopted the G20 Johannesburg Leaders’ Declaration on the climate crisis and other global challenges at the start of the summit on Saturday, breaking with tradition.  After weeks of challenging discussions and without the involvement of the United States, South Africa managed to achieve consensus on its own terms. The G20 Declaration commits major economies to tackling global inequality, reforming international financial systems to ease debt pressures on developing countries, and boosting inclusive growth, with a strong focus on Africa and the Global South. It also emphasises climate action, renewable energy transitions, and strengthened multilateral cooperation to advance peace, sustainability and development worldwide. Click here to read full report.

United States senator John Kennedy has introduced a new bill to extend the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) for two years that would explicitly exclude South Africa. The bill was introduced to the US senate at the end of September when AGOA officially lapsed, bringing an end to the 25-year-old programme. The bill was tabled and sent to the Committee on Finance, with no further action yet taken. The US government was in shutdown for 43 days after it was tabled, and only recently got back to business. The existence of the bill was revealed by the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition during a presentation to the portfolio committee on Tuesday, 25 November. The department noted that trade negotiations with the US were ongoing, and there was hope that AGOA would be revived. It said that there is bipartisan support for renewal of AGOA among both republicans and democrats, and the White House itself has expressed support for a one-year renewal.

The Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition, Mr Parks Tau, says South Africa continues to benefit from a wide network of preferential and non-preferential trade agreements covering 90 countries, representing 28% of global GDP. He was addressing the Portfolio Committee on Trade, Industry and Competition supported by Deputy Minister Alexandra Abrahams on the state of South Africa’s trade relations, progress in ongoing negotiations, and the country’s strategy to navigate an increasingly volatile global trading environment. Tau told Parliament that global trade is undergoing seismic shifts, with rising unilateral measures, retaliatory tariffs, and disruptions in the multilateral trading system. “The share of world trade governed by WTO rules has already dropped from 80% to 72% in 2025. These shifts, driven by growing geopolitical tensions and great-power competition, are creating uncertainty and weakening predictable rules-based trade. Therefore, there is a need for South Africa to strengthen its industrial base, diversify trade partners, and build greater economic resilience,” he said. Click here to read full report.

Southern Africa’s citrus growers have ended the 2025 lemon season on a high, packing a final 41.5 million (15 kg equivalent) cartons, far exceeding the initial forecast for the period. Citrus Growers’ Association (CGA) CEO Boitshoko Ntshabele said exporters had experienced “a good season”, with forecasts for an even better 2026 crop. “The 2025 lemon season concluded with a final packed volume of 41.5m cartons, marking a year of notably high volumes in which markets held up well,” Ntshabele wrote in his weekly newsletter on Friday. Despite frost and hail damage that prompted a conservative March estimate of just 32.9m cartons, fruit size improved dramatically through the season. “Projections were revised upwards throughout the season, driven mainly by fruit size improvement, ultimately exceeding initial expectations,” Ntshabele said. All major regions outperformed forecasts: Sundays River Valley packed 17.1m cartons (30% above estimate), Senwes 6.2m (+44%), Boland 3.7m (+27%), Patensie 3.5m (+26%) and Hoedspruit 2.8m (+8%).

South Africa’s cherry industry is gearing up for one of its most promising seasons yet. This year, growers expect to export around 58% of the national crop, with a further 28% destined for local shelves. Ideal weather has boosted confidence across farming regions, while early harvests in the northern provinces have already exceeded expectations. But although momentum is building, South Africa is still a relatively small player in the global cherry market. Locally, cherries remain a luxury item for many shoppers – a challenge for retailers hoping to expand domestic consumption during the short December–January window. That’s why exports remain the backbone of the industry. Last season, 60% of South Africa’s cherries went to the UK, followed by the EU (18%) and the Middle East (12%). Producers expect a similar distribution this year as demand continues to grow, while even bigger opportunities may soon open up. According to industry body Hortgro, negotiations with Beijing are progressing well, and virtual inspections of cherry farms and packhouses may take place before year-end.

Open letter from Chris Burgess

Dear business leader. In my 26 years of covering South African agriculture as a senior journalist, first as editor of Farmer's Weekly, and then editor of Landbouweekblad, I can unequivocally attest to the fact that PALS (Partners in Agri Land Solutions) is without a shadow of a doubt, South Africa's most innovative land-reform initiative. Not only does it sport a proven track record of success involving some of the leading farmers in the country, it also manages to achieve some of the most elusive land-reform objectives: It creates and builds shared wealth, as opposed to merely redistributing existing wealth.
