The SARB’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), led by Governor Lesetja Kganyago, has shifted its inflation target from the midpoint of 4.5% to the lower end of its 3%–6% range, aiming for 3% inflation. Inflation has been stable at around 3% since October 2024, enabling the SARB to cut interest rates by 125 basis points to 7.00%. The SARB projects an additional 100 basis point cut by the end of 2026, including a 25 basis point cut in 2025, bringing the repo rate to 6.0%. This contrasts with market expectations, as the Forward Rate Agreement (FRA) anticipates only a 50 basis point reduction. The lower inflation target is expected to keep core inflation stable at 3% and support a “new normal” interest rate of 3% by 2027. A stronger rand supports the 3% target, as a 4.5% target would lead to a more depreciated exchange rate, pushing inflation back to 4.5%.
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Pluimveevereniging, onder leiding van Izaak Breitenbach, is ontsteld oor die gebrek aan konsultasie deur Minister Parks Tau voordat toegewing gemaak is om 72,000 ton Amerikaanse hoender- en varkvleis na Suid-Afrika in te voer. Hierdie besendings, wat binne twee weke verwag word uit state soos Georgia en Mississippi, is deel van onderhandelinge om die VSA se 30% tariewe op Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere te verlaag. Die 72,000-ton kwota is deel van die African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)-ooreenkoms, maar Breitenbach merk op dat die voortsetting van die kwota tot 2026 Suid-Afrika se handelsvoordele ondermyn, gegewe die nuwe tariewe.
’n Moontlike geval van bek-en-klouseer (BKS) by Viljoenskroon in die Vrystaat is nog nie bevestig nie. Dit behels kommunale beeste wat vanaf Orkney in Noordwes, waar aktiewe gevalle voorkom, na Viljoenskroon oorgestap het. Twee verdere moontlike gevalle word tussen Frankfort en Cornelia in die Vrystaat ondersoek, met bloedmonsters gister en vandag na laboratoriums gestuur vir ontleding.’n Bevestigde geval is hierdie week in Mpumalanga tussen Middelburg en Carolina aangeteken. In Wakkerstroom, Mpumalanga, is die kwarantynradius verklein tot slegs die oorspronklike plaas, waar beeste ingeënt en gebrandmerk is. BKS kom tans voor in KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, die Vrystaat, Noordwes en Gauteng, met Noordwes, Gauteng en die Vrystaat as brandpunte. Noordwes is veral kommerwekkend weens die verspreiding van die siekte. In Noordwes is daar spanning met myners wat hul beeste laat inent, maar weier om die diere te laat brandmerk soos wetgewing vereis. Die regering word nou aangespoor om myners te verplig om brandmerking toe te laat.
Brazil’s 2024-25 grain harvest is projected to reach a record 345.2 million tonnes, up 47.7 million tonnes from 2023-24, according to Conab’s 11th Harvest Survey (August 14, 2025). This is a 5.6 million-tonne increase from July’s estimate, driven by a 2.5% rise in cultivated area (81.9 million hectares) and a productivity increase from 3,722 kg/ha to 4,214 kg/ha. Corn output is expected to hit a record 137 million tonnes, a 21.5 million-tonne increase year-on-year. The second corn harvest, nearly 84% complete, is projected at 109.6 million tonnes. Domestic consumption will exceed 90 million tonnes, with carryover stocks at 10.3 million tonnes and exports rising to 40 million tonnes, boosted by global demand shifting to South America amid U.S. tariff disputes.

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.)
Wêreldwye mielie-oesvoorraadvlakke sal na verwagting met 1% styg vergeleke met verlede jaar, met koringoesverwagting ook 1% hoër. Prysverhogings vir Suid-Afrikaanse graanprodusente is onwaarskynlik sonder markskokke, wat noukeurige bestuur van insetkoste noodsaak. Prysbewegings sal korttermyn sywaarts wees, gunstig vir verbruikers.
South Africa’s economy is stuck at a 1% growth rate due to low private sector investment, which is 15% below 2020 levels, partly due to investments in Eskom alternatives. High inflation in food, housing, utilities, and transport is unlikely to decrease, adding pressure to the economy.
Vise-President Paul Mashatile het tydens die Naacam Show 2025 in Gqeberha aangekondig dat President Cyril Ramaphosa ’n afvaardiging na die Withuis sal stuur om die 30%-handelstariewe op Suid-Afrikaanse invoere na die VSA met President Donald Trump se administrasie te bespreek.
High raspberry supply due to late arrivals from Spain and Morocco overlapping with local harvests has driven down prices, pressuring growers, especially those on the spot market. Rising labor costs exacerbate challenges, though contract-based growers are less affected.
Volgens die Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP) se Baseline 2025-verslag, wat in Pretoria bekendgestel is, sal graanpryse oor die volgende dekade na verwagting daal, wat winsmarges vir boere verder sal druk namate insetkoste styg. Langtermyn-volhoubaarheid vereis groter fokus op tegnologie vir produktiwiteitswins.
Jaco Minnaar, voorsitter van AgriSA, het tydens ’n Agri Limpopo sake-ontbyt gewaarsku dat Suid-Afrikaanse landbouprodusente moet voorberei om voedsel vir 2,5 miljard ekstra mense in Afrika teen 2050 te produseer, ondanks uitdagings soos klimaatsverandering, tegnologiese ontwrigting, migrasie, biodiversiteitverlies en menseregte-kwessies.
South Africa already affords the US a tariff-free quota of poultry of 70k tonnes. This was never fully utilised by the US for various reasons, including phytosanitary matters. Currently, South Africa imports around 300k tonnes of various poultry products, which make up roughly 20% of the annual consumption.
Die vakbond Solidariteit verwag om in die volgende maand na Washington DC te reis om met Amerikaanse regeringsamptenare te vergader na bekommernisse oor menseregte in Suid-Afrika wat verswak. Die besoek volg nadat ‘n verslag van die Amerikaanse buitelandse sake-departement bedreigings uitgewys het.
A study by Stellenbosch University and Mendel University, published in Agrekon, highlights a declining trend in South Africa’s agri-food trade with the EU, despite it being the EU’s largest African trading partner.

Die administrasie voorspel dat Brent-ru-olie sal daal van 7 dollar ‘n vat in Julie tot ‘n gemiddeld van 58 dollar ‘n vat in die vierde kwartaal van vanjaar e en ongeveer 50 dollar ‘n vat vroeg in 2026.
South Africa’s apple and pear export industry, represented by Two-a-Day and Link Supply Chain Management, has warned that inefficiencies at the Port of Cape Town have cost the sector R1 billion in 2024 due to additional storage, trucking, and plug-in costs, as well as missed market opportunities when vessels bypass the port.
Minister van Landbou, John Steenhuisen, het by Agri Wes-Kaap se jaarkongres in Goudini Spa aangekondig dat ’n taakspan binne dae aangestel sal word om Suid-Afrika se bek-en-klouseer (BKS)-strategie te versterk, na afloop van ’n beraad by die Landbounavorsingsraad.
Land Bank Insurance Company (LBIC) has introduced Area-Yield Index Insurance (AYII), expanding its pilot “index insurance” offerings to support crop farmers against large-scale climatic and environmental risks.
