Botswana and Namibia still frequently block imports of South Africa’s vegetables and fruits. Kenya blocks maize from South Africa. There is just too much friction in Africa’s food trade.

SOUTH AFRICAN AGRICULTURE IS NOT UNDER SIEGE! --SA agriculture has more than doubled since 1994. --exports reached a record US$13, 7 billion in 2024 --With South Africa now the only African country in the global top 40 agricultural exporters --Jobs remain solid, around 920k at farm level (nicely above 1994 levels, although we have mechanised massively). --We are food secure at the national level, and supporting the entire Southern Africa region. --We need to continue boosting the inclusion of black farmers from the current levels of 10% contribution in the overall output. --We have around 2.5 million hectares of government land for the expansion of agriculture. --We explore the sector’s resilience, the ongoing commitment of farmers, and the need for government, organised agriculture and communities to work together to improve safety and reduce operational inefficiencies.

SOUTH AFRICA IS SET TO HARVEST ITS LARGEST GRAIN HARVEST ON RECORD We are still early in the season, but the recent crop forecasts suggest that South Africa is likely to have its largest summer grain and oilseed harvest on record in the 2025-26 production season. This is on the back of the expansion in area plantings and the large yields due to favourable summer rains. The data released by the Crop Estimates Committee this afternoon places the country’s 2025-26 summer grain and oilseed harvest at 20.8 million tonnes, up 2% from the previous month, and 1% up year-on-year (y/y). This monthly and yearly improvement in the overall harvest is underpinned by upward revisions to major grains and oilseeds, particularly maize, soybeans, and sunflower seed.

SOUTH AFRICA HAS THE SECOND LARGEST MAIZE HARVEST ON RECORD — South Africa’s 2024-25 maize crop of 16.44 million tonnes is the second-largest on record. This is up 28% from the previous season, boosted by the better yields. — 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. —There will be ample export volumes.
