U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 30% tariff on South African imports, effective August 1, 2025, will significantly impact South African farmers, including white farmers he previously claimed to support. The tariffs target key agricultural exports like citrus, wine, sugar cane, beef, and soybeans, previously benefiting from duty-free access under AGOA. South Africa, the world’s second-largest citrus exporter, earns about $100 million annually from the U.S. market. Farmers like Krisjan Mouton in Citrusdal express confusion and frustration, noting the tariffs contradict Trump’s earlier support.
Wandile Sihlobo, hoofekonoom van Agbiz, kritiseer die beperkende handelstariewe binne die Brics-groepering en sê dat hoewel die VSA se 30%-invoertariewe, wat op 1 Augustus 2025 in werking tree, internasionale handel ontwrig, Brics-lande ook hul eie handelsbeperkings moet aanspreek. China hef byvoorbeeld hoë tariewe op Suid-Afrikaanse landbouprodukte soos makadamianeute (12%) en wyn (14–20%), plus fitosanitêre hindernisse, wat marktoegang beperk. Suid-Afrika se landbousektor, wat verlede jaar $13,7 miljard uitgevoer het (hoofsaaklik na Afrika en die EU), is afhanklik van markuitbreiding vir groei en plattelandse herlewing.
The South African government’s tendency to engage in prolonged discussions without follow-through further frustrates farmers. Events hosted by the Department of Trade, Industry, and Competition or the Department of Agriculture often feature promises of export diversification or biosecurity improvements, yet progress lags. For example, despite announcements in May 2025 to diversify export markets to China and the Middle East, minimal advancements have been made, leaving agriculture vulnerable to US tariffs. SA Canegrowers highlighted that 100,000 tons of subsidized sugar imports in 2024/25 displaced local production, costing R6,000 per ton, yet government action on protective tariffs remains slow.
Hoewel veediefstal in Suid-Afrika sedert 2019 afgeneem het, is die herwinning van gesteelde vee, veral skape en bokke, ook laer, volgens Willie Clack, veediefstal-kenner en senior lektor aan Unisa. Statistieke van 2018–2025 toon ’n gemiddelde kwartaallikse diefstal van 14,433 beeste, 25,000 skape en 13,500 bokke, met pieke in Oktober–Desember. Herwinningsyfers is laag: beeste (26%), skape (17.6%), en bokke (18.4%), met ’n dalende tendens weens slinkse sindikate wat sistemiese leemtes uitbuit, veral in KwaZulu-Natal en die Oos-Kaap.

This policy brief provides evidence and analysis that refutes the claim of a genocide against white farmers. Farm attacks are a serious crime problem requiring dedicated law enforcement attention, but they do not amount to genocide. They represent a small part of violent crime overall in South Africa and their patterns are consistent with criminal rather than political motives.. READ MORE

CRA MEDIA - Actions speak louder than words. So, focus on winning through your actions rather than trying to win an argument.You need to think long-term if you want to maintain power. 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. You won’t be able to exert your authority as easily.

Summary of the Weeks Headline news- ( Our mediums is overloaded with Farming and Agriculture news and we have great interest from International medium.)
While South Africa’s trade environment waits to hear from government about negotiations with the US to avoid a 30% increase in tariffs, the Bureau for Economic Research (BER) has struck a balance between good and bad news.
Wandile Sihlobo, hoofekonoom van Agbiz, kritiseer die beperkende handelstariewe binne die Brics-groepering en sê dat hoewel die VSA se 30%-invoertariewe, wat op 1 Augustus 2025 in werking tree, internasionale handel ontwrig, Brics-lande ook hul eie handelsbeperkings moet aanspreek.
Industry leaders, including Gary Arnold (South African Poultry Association) and Dr. Tobias Doyer (Grain SA), welcomed Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen’s 2025/26 Budget Vote speech for its practical and focused agricultural policy framework, emphasizing biosecurity as a national priority.
President Cyril Ramaphosa het herbevestig die nasionale dialoog sal nie die grondwetlike rol van die parlement en die regering vervang nie. Ramaphosa het tydens ‘n gesprek met die groep vooraanstaande persone by die Uniegebou in Pretoria, beklemtoon die doel van die dialoog is om vooruitgang in die land te ondersteun en te lei.
The Israeli-Iranian conflict - particularly if it escalates or spreads into broader regional tensions in the Red Sea or Arab/Persian Gulf - could significantly impact global fertiliser trade. Below is a breakdown of the fertilisers most at risk and the mechanisms behind potential disruptions.
Hoewel veediefstal in Suid-Afrika sedert 2019 afgeneem het, is die herwinning van gesteelde vee, veral skape en bokke, ook laer, volgens Willie Clack, veediefstal-kenner en senior lektor aan Unisa.

Die VN-organisasie vir Handel en Ontwikkeling sê Afrika was die enigste ontwikkelende vasteland wat ‘n handelstoename in die eerste helfte van 2025 getoon het. Uitvoere het met 5 persent gestyg en binne-Afrika handel het met 16-persent opgeskiet.
