South African agricultural commodity markets gained ground this week, owing to a combination of factors with key ones being a relatively weaker Rand against the US Dollar, strong domestic buying interest, as well as higher Chicago grain prices.
Notable gains were on the maize and sunflower seed market, an average of 3% up from the previous week. The aforementioned factors and prospects of relatively lower yields on sunflower seed were the key drivers of the market.
