We cannot allow members of farming communities to be murdered and fear installed – this situation has reached extreme proportions in South Africa.  Most of the provinces in South Africa are affected by these atrocities. Human Rights and the right to life and liberty enshrined in the South African constitution, is imperative to the future of our country. Clearly, we still have a long way to go to adhere to this noble principle.

The levels of violence and criminality remains unacceptably high. Of great concern to Agri SA, is the brutal nature of farm murders. Farmers are also subjected to house robberies, aggravated assault, malicious damage to property, theft of crops, farm produce as well as livestock. Approximately 55 000 head of cattle and 85 000 sheep gets stolen each year – clearly this has become an endemic problem for farmers and rural communities alike.

Agri SA, has always had a constructive relationship with the South African Police Service, especially in relation to matters of safety and security. A good example of this relationship is Agri SA’s involvement with the implementation of the Rural Protection Plan since 1997 when farm attacks were firstly prioritise by government and the police and, more recently, the National Rural Safety Strategy since July 2011. Agri SA also played a role in finalising the revised reservist policy. The re-confirmation by the acting National Commissioner of Police that farm murders and attacks will still receive priority status, is welcomed. Agri SA will continue to participate with the police in developing the necessary action plans and processes to deal with the rural crime situation.

The Agri Securitas Trust Fund has made a big difference to the security situation at farm level by investing in security equipment, telecommunication infrastructure, funding of provincial security desks, counselling sessions etc.  “We still need to do a lot more at farm level to protect our farmers, farm workers and their families, and to this end we need funds and expertise from all spheres”, said Van Zyl in closure.

Hy sê boere is in ‘n hoek, want as hulle nie die heining op eie koste in stand hou en dikwels groot dele wat gesteel word vervang nie, sal Suid-Afrika sy bek-en-klouseervrye status verloor. Daar was onlangs uitbrake van dié gevreesde siekte in die suide van Zimbabwe.

Dit blyk dat die weermag en die polisie ook raadop is met diewe wat die drade steel. Dit blyk onmoontlik te wees om hierdie probleem te hanteer op ‘n manier dat daar aansienlik minder onderhoud op heinings nodig sal wees.

Agri Limpopo het onlangs ‘n vergadering belê waarheen nasionale verteenwoordigers van die Departement vir Dieregesondheid, Zimbabwe se Departement vir Veeartsenykunde, plaaslike en nasionale politici en produsenteoragnisasies genooi is om die probleme langs die grens te bespreek.
Die Zimbabwiese Departement en ook die plaaslike Wildbedryf het egter nie opgedaag nie, maar Van Jaarsveld sê parlementêre politici en selfs lede van die Nasionale Departement van Landbou se Veaartsenydienste, was geskok oor die uitdagings wat boere op Suid-Afrika se noordelike grens die hoof moet bied in belang van die land se bek-en-klouvrye status.

Een belangrike probleem wat aan die lig gekom het is die omstredenheid rondom wetgewing wat die skut van diere beheer. Hoewel die Dieregesondheidswet bepaal dat boere rondlopervee wat oor die grens kom moet skut en dan die Departement van Dieregesondheid in kennis moet stel sodat bepaal kan word of die diere siektes dra alvorens hulle van kant gemaak of teruggestuur word na die land waar hulle vandaan kom, sê Van Jaarsveld hierdie wet dateer uit 1984 en is volgens die Staatsveeartse teenstrydig met die gees van die 1996 konstitusie van Suid-Afrika. Daarom kan die wet nie toegepas word nie.

Hy sê as boere die diere hanteer soos wat die wet vereis, word hulle gedreig dat hulle die eienaars se regte verydel en daarvoor vervolg sal word. “Ons het dringend ‘n wysiging van die Skutwet nodig,” sê hy.

Van Jaarsveld sê die situasie op die noordelike grens gaan ‘n gesamentlike poging van die departemente van Openbare Werke, Landbou, Waterwese, Binnelandse sake, Arbeid en ook die polisie en die weermag asook die grensboere verg, om dit te beredder.

Hy waarsku dat ‘n verandering in Suid-Afrika se bek-en-klouseerstatus baie meer as net die land se veebedryf kan impakteer. “Ons is ingelig dat lande gedurig soek na verskonings om handelsperke teen mekaar in te stel. Dit staan enige land vry om te sê hulle aanvaar nie ons vrugte nie oor die manier waarop ons bek-en-klouseer hanteer. Hierdie mededeling deur amptenare van Landbou se nasionale kantoor, het ons sitrusprodusente in daardie gebied behoorlik laat regop sit.”

‘n Dringende opvolg vergadering word in die vooruitsig gestel. Veeartsenydienste het onderneem om hul huiswerk oor sekere aspekte te gaan doen en dan terugvoer aan ‘n volgende vergadering te gee. Daar word gehoop dat die vergadering nog voor middel Desember 2015 kan plaasvind.

Een van die hoogtepunte van die kongres was die toespraak van die direkteur-generaal van die nasionale departement van landbou, bosbou en visserye, mnr Mike Mlengana — ‘n diep gelowige man wat sy mandaat in die sektor as ‘n geestelike opdrag uit ‘n hoër gesag beskou en gehoorsaam.

“Ek is in hierdie posisie omdat ek God se guns dra en ek is hier by julle omdat ek Hom dien wat julle en ek vrees.” So het hy sy toespraak begin en op dieselfde trant voortgegaan tot op die punt waar boere hom “Laat Heer U seën op hom daal” toegesing het, toe hy klaar gepraat het.

Mlengane, self ‘n boer, het dit gou duidelik gemaak dat hy weet waaroor landbou gaan en nie blind is vir die tekortkomings in die nasionale landboudepartement nie. “Ons kon skoolgaan en gaan leer omdat my pa beeste en mielies verkoop het. Landbou het vir ons deure oopgemaak,” sê hy.

Oor sy werk in die departement draai hy nie doekies om nie; hy erken dat daar baie foute gemaak is en baie dinge is wat reggemaak moet word. Hy het afgevaardigdes na die kongres vertel hoe ‘n voorligtingsbeampte by hom op die plaas aangekom en gekomplimenteer het op sy mooi Brahmane. “Die enigste probleem is, ek boer met Bonsmaras! Ons het nie die regte mense in die regte poste nie.”

Hy het dus ‘n private maatskappy aangestel om elke persoon in die departement te evalueer en vas te stel of daardie individu geskik is vir sy pos. “Vir die ouens wat nie geskik is nie, kry ek oorplasings na ander departemente. Ek soek die beste mense vir die werk in my departement.”

“Nou het julle ‘n DG vír boere eerder as ‘n DG ván landbou,” het me Marna de Lange van die  organisasie Umsizi Sustainable Solutions tydens haar spreukbeurt by die kongres gesê. “Dis nou klimaatsverandering.”

Die oud-premier en politikus Dr Mathews Phosa het ‘n ewe inspirerende boodskap vir boere gebring. Hy het geen doekies omgedraai oor die magstryd tussen President Zuma en die minister van finansies, mnr Pravin Gordhan, nie.
“Daar is magte binne in die regering wat probeer om die hulpbronne van ons mense te kolonialiseer. Ons moet dit nie toelaat nie,” het hy gesê en ‘n be-roep op boere gedoen om sterk te staan en aan te hou om voedsel te produseer te midde van hierdie storms. “Moenie fokus verloor nie. Landbou het ‘n sleutelrol om te speel in die toekomstige ekonomiese groei van ons land.”

Phosa glo landbou kan ‘n sleutelrol speel in die vestiging van ekonomies sterk en stabiele landelike gebiede, en dat dit noodsaaklik gaan wees in die voortbestaan van die demokrasie.

Dr Theo de Jager van Agri Limpopo het op sy beurt vertel hoe die organisasie Limpopo se kleiner boere bystaan om koöperasies op die been te bring, om hul volle potensiaal in landbou te ontsluit. Selfs die hardekwas ekonoom Dr Roelof Botha het vertel Suid-Afrika se ekonomie het reeds sy onderste draaipunt bereik en dinge kan net beter raak.

South African agricultural commodity markets were under pressure this week, owing to a combination of factors with key ones being the stronger Rand against the US Dollar, as well as a favourable weather outlook for the new season crop.

Notable losses were on the maize market, an average of 3% down from the previous week’s levels. The aforementioned factors and domestic selling pressure were the key drivers of the market.

The wheat and oilseeds market saw marginal losses, closing in negative territory as the impact of the stronger Rand against the US Dollar continued to dominate the market.

For fruits and vegetables, the week has again been fairly wobbly with daily volumes/stock levels underpinning the market. Lastly, the SAFEX beef market ended the week in positive territory

The post South African Agricultural Commodities Weekly Wrap: 17 February 2017 appeared first on Agri Limpopo.

Maize:

Most provinces of South Africa received rainfall this weekend and are likely to see additional showers this week. This bodes well with crop growing process as it is largely in the pollination stage that requires fairly wet weather conditions.

Overall, South Africa’s maize crop is in good condition and that supports our view that this year’s crop could at least reach 11.9 million tonnes, which is a 53% annual increase.

Regionally, there are some challenges in maize production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the UN (FAO), Zimbabwe is likely to be the hardest hit by an outbreak of the Fall Armyworm, with up to 130 000 hectares of maize fields likely to be affected. In Zambia, about 90 000 hectares of maize are reportedly affected and Namibia has about 50 000 hectares affected .

These respective countries produce maize that is not genetically modified (GM), which puts them in a more precarious position than South Africa (which grows roughly 85% GM maize). Moreover, a considerable volume of maize is produced by smallholder farmers in remote areas, which could slow pesticide distribution. That said, more will unfold over the coming months.

Mozambique has been hit by Cyclone Dineo and that has raised the risk of flooding and crop damage in most areas. At this stage the scale of the damage is unclear, but we will be monitoring the developments over the coming days.

Wheat:

There is some level of uncertainty in the South African wheat market which stems from the import tariff. Earlier this month, data from the South African Grain Information Services (SAGIS) showed that the newly calculated wheat import tariff is R1 190.19 per tonne, which is 25% lower than the current level of R1 591.40 per tonne.

However, this newly calculated duty will not be active until published in the Government Gazette. At this point, it is unclear when this publication will be, as there is no formal timeframe that guides the processes.

At the same time, there is an ongoing review of import tariffs by the National Treasury, with the outcome expected later this quarter.

The new season crop could face weather challenges. Recent reports from the World Meteorological Organisation suggest that El Nino weather pattern could return during the second half of this year, with a probability of 35-40%. This weather event is usual accompanied with dryness in South Africa. With that said, it is still early stages, we will continue to monitor the developments.

Soybean:

Over the past few days, most soybean growing areas received high rainfall, which bodes well with the crop as it is still in growing stages. The crop is in good condition and set to benefit from expected favourable weather conditions within the next two weeks. These developments support our view that South Africa’s soybean crop could reach at least at 867 520 tonnes – a 17% annual production increase .

In global markets – this morning Chicago soybean price was down by 0.29% from the level seen at midday Friday, owing to disappointing export sales. Last week the US weekly soybean export sales reached 890 000 tonnes, which is well below market expectations.

Elsewhere, South America’s weather developments remain of much interest in the global soybean market. The Recent forecast suggests that the region could see widespread rainfall within the next eight days.

Although this bodes well with Argentina’s soybean crop that is still at early growing stages, the Brazilians that are at harvest stages could experience delays due to wet weather conditions. By end of last week, Brazilians had harvested 25% of their soybean crop. The USDA forecasts Brazil’s 2016/17 soybean production at 104 million tonnes, which is 8% higher than the previous season.

Sunflowerseed:

The western parts of South Africa received high rainfall over the past few days and the crop is in relatively good condition. There were reports of Sclerotinia in some sunflower seed fields in the North West province, but with pesticides in the market, the farmers should be in a better place to manage the disease.

Overall, if the country continues to receive consistent rainfall pattern over the next few weeks, then this season’s crop should at least reach 798 960 tonnes, which is 6% higher than the previous season.

In global markets – the EU’s sunflower seed market gained ground during Friday’s trade session, largely supported by strong global demand. The price reached US$420 per tonne, which is 0.96% higher than the previous day.

The same trend was observed in the Black Sea region’s sunflower seed oil market, where prices gained 0.13% from the previous day’s level, closing at $761 per tonne. This was also supported by strong global demand. Recent reports showed that in the first 2-weeks of February, Ukraine exported 164 100 tonnes of sunflower oil and 139 700 tonnes of sunflower meal to an unknown destination.

Potatoes:

Over the past few weeks potatoes, the price has been on a downward trend due to increasing stocks on the back of ongoing harvest activity. Friday was no different, the market started off with high stock levels of 1 021 033 bags (10 kg bags) which added bearish pressure, with a price closing at levels below R30 per bag (10 kg).

Maize:

This week started off on a quiet note, with Chicago maize market closed for a US Federal holiday. This opened room for domestic factors to be key drivers of the market. The slightly weakening Rand against the US Dollar, as well as fears of potential delays in early producer deliveries added support to the market, with spot and July 17 contract month prices closing in positive territory.

The highest rainfall recorded this past weekend was 148 millimetres in Graskop in Mpumalanga, which is not a grain producing town. Most maize producing areas in the province received rainfall over roughly 30 millimetres, which bodes well with the crop that is still at the pollination stage and requiring fairly wet weather conditions.

Trailing behind Mpumalanga was eastern Free State, with the highest rainfall of 65 millimetres recorded in Fouriesburg. Many areas of the western Free State received moderate rainfall of between 20 and 49 millimetres. Over the same period, the highest rainfall recorded in North West was 41 millimetres in Delareyville. Other areas in the province received moderate showers of between 20 and 35 millimetres.

The forecast for the next two weeks suggests that the South African maize-belt could receive consistent high rainfall. Although rainfall is helpful for crop development, too much of it could bring challenges. In some areas, farmers fear that the wet weather conditions could delay early producer maize deliveries, particularly in irrigation areas. Moreover, the younger crops might also be negatively affected by very wet conditions.

With that said, South Africa’s maize crop is still in good condition and that supports our view that this year’s crop could at least reach 11.9 million tonnes, which is a 53% annual increase.

Wheat:

There was no major news in the South African wheat market. The expected high rainfall in most parts of the country will be helpful in filling up dams which could later be beneficial for irrigation areas during winter wheat planting season.

South Africa had a good season this year, with wheat production up by 31% from the previous season to 1.89 million tonnes. On Tuesday next week, the National Crop Estimate Committee will release its seventh production estimate. Given the producer deliveries activity in past three weeks, we believe that the seventh production estimate could be slightly revised up to 1.90 million tonnes.

On the global front – this morning Chicago wheat price was down by 0.23% from the level seen at midday yesterday due to large global supplies. Moreover, weather forecasts suggest the US Plains and Midwest could see mild and favourable temperatures this week which is essential for advancing winter wheat growth in the region.

Soybean:

The South African soybean market found support on the back of a relatively weaker Rand against the US Dollar, as well as emerging fears that wet weather conditions in some parts of Mpumalanga could lower the quality of the soybean crop.

However, at the moment, the crop is still in good condition and the jitters in the market are mainly supported by weather forecasts which show a possibility of consistent rainfall pattern over the next two weeks.

Overall, we are still comfortable with our view that South Africa’s soybean crop could reach at least at 867 520 tonnes – a 17% annual production increase .

In global markets – this morning Chicago soybean price was up by 0.68% from the level seen at midday yesterday, with rainfall in Argentina raising concerns over potential decline in yields.

Sunflowerseed:

South Africa’s sunflower seed crop is in good condition, which supports our view that this season’s crop should at least reach 798 960 tonnes, which is 6% higher than the previous season.

With that said, forecast high rainfall for the next two weeks might complicate growing conditions in some areas. Already, there were reports of Sclerotinia in some sunflower seed fields in the North West province, but with pesticides in the market, the farmers should be in a better place to manage the disease (albeit higher input costs).

Potatoes:

The ongoing harvest activity continues to add bearish pressure on South African potatoes market. Yesterday the market saw further losses of 3.41% from the previous day’s level due to higher stock levels (1 078 660 bags (10 kg bags)) that were seen at the start of yesterday’s trade session.

SA Fruit:

The Johannesburg Fresh Produce Market remains wobbly, largely driven by stock levels and buying interest. Yesterday the apple price was down by 7.79% from the previous day’s level, closing at R7.54 per kilogramme. This was due to a 27% uptick in stock levels to 217 324 tonnes.

The bananas price was down by 11.89% from the previous day’s level, closing at R7.09 per kilogramme, pressured by relatively higher stock levels of 173 607 tonnes. Meanwhile, the oranges market managed to claw back the previous day’s losses, up by 2.11% from the previous day’s level, closing at R13.06 due to strong buying interest.

Maize:

South Africa’s maize growing areas continue to receive high rainfall, and the forecasts suggest that this could persist for the next two weeks. Although rain is essential for crop growing conditions, there is an emerging fear that too much of it could cause complications, especially for crops that are still at early growing stages and the ones nearing maturation stages.

Trade perspective – this was a fairly quiet week, with relatively small volumes imported. In the week ending 17 February 2017, South Africa’s maize imports came in at 12 193 tonnes all yellow maize from Ukraine. This placed South Africa’s 2016/17 yellow maize imports at 1.29 million tonnes – 75% of the seasonal import forecast. Moreover, South Africa’s 2016/17 white maize imports stand at 670 501 tonnes – 89% of the seasonal import forecast. Overall, South Africa’s 2016/17 total maize imports stand at 1.96 million tonnes, which is 79% of the seasonal import forecast.

In the same week, South Africa exported 12 358 tonnes of maize to regional markets (Africa), with 56% share being white maize and 44% being yellow maize. South Africa’s 2016/17 total maize exports currently stand at 644 061 tonnes (61% is white maize and 39% is yellow maize).

Regionally, meanwhile South Africa is experiencing high rainfall, the Kenyan farmers have been battling with drought, as a result, the government will allow non-GM yellow maize imports of 450 000 tonnes duty-free within the next three to four months.

Wheat:

There was an uptick in trade activity, with recent figures showing that South Africa’s wheat imports for the week ending 17 February 2017 reached 36 668 tonnes. About 52% was from Germany, 27% from Poland and 21% from Canada. This is double the volume imported the previous week. Overall, South Africa’s 2016/17 total wheat imports stand at 240 183 tonnes, which is 16% of the seasonal import forecast (1.5 million tonnes).

Although a net importer of wheat, South Africa continues to export wheat to regional markets. In the week ending 17 February 2017, total exports reached 3 766 tonnes, all went to regional markets (Africa). Overall, South Africa’s 2016/17 total wheat exports currently stand at 35 612 tonnes. About 56% of this went to Zimbabwe, 11% to Namibia, 8% to Botswana, 12% to Lesotho, 9% to Mozambique, and 4% to Swaziland.

Soybean:

In global markets – this morning Chicago soybean price was down by 1.06% from the level seen at midday yesterday, owing to growing optimism about the US 2017/18 soybean crop. The USDA placed its area plantings forecast at 85.5 million acres, which is up by 3% from the previous season. Informa Economics is even more optimistic, placing the US 2017/18 area plantings estimate at 90.49 million acres, up by 9% from the previous season.

With ongoing rainfall in most parts of South America, the region remains a key focus in the global market. There are still mixed views about the effects of wet weather conditions Argentina. On the one hand, some analysts worry that these conditions could lead to yield losses, while others view is that this could be positive in replenishing soil moisture and improving crop conditions.

The recent estimates from the Buenos Aires Grains Exchange placed Argentina’s 2016/17 soybean crop at 54.8 million tonnes, which is 7% lower than the previous season.

Sunflowerseed:

In global markets – the EU’s sunflower seed market was under pressure, with prices down by 0.48% from the previous day’s level, closing at US$418 per tonne. Fundamentally, there hasn’t been any major shifts in the EU sunflower seed market. The bearish pressure stems from higher domestic supplies, with the 2016/17 crop estimated at 8.6 million tonnes, which is 6% higher than the previous season’s crop.

In South America, ongoing rainfall in Argentina has slowed harvest process. On the 21st February 2017, Argentina’s sunflower seed harvest was still at 39% complete, according to data from Sunseedman. The weather forecasts show that rainfall could possibly continue for the remainder of this week.

Potatoes:

The current rainfall has slowed harvest activity or producer deliveries in the potatoes market. This is illustrated by lower stock levels that were seen at the start of yesterday’s trade session. As a result, the market found support on these developments, with prices up by 36.33% in yesterday’s trade session (compared to the previous day) to R37.04 per bag (10 kilogrammes).

Bread perspective: South Africa’s total bread production saw a notable growth in 2016, starting the year with 171 million loaves in January 2016 and closing with 182 million loaves in December 2016. The significant improvement was on brown bread production, which was 82 million loaves in January (4% below white bread production) and ended the year at 90 million loaves (1% above white bread production). In fact, from October to December 2016, brown bread production was consistently higher than white bread.

Maize meal perspective: Contrary to bread production, maize meal production assumed a negative growth, and dropped by 8% year-on-year over the same period – to 225 700 tons in December 2016 (see Chart 2). About 76% of the total produced was super maize meal, trailing behind was special maize meal with a share of 14% and the balance was samp, sifted maize meal and “grits and rice”.

Also, worth noting is that 30% of white maize production is consumed by the animal feed sector as “maize chop”, with only 70% of white maize making it to the final maize meal market (see Chart 2). More specifically, in a period between January 2016 and December 2016, super maize meal production fell by 4% to 176 254 tons. At the same time, special maize meal saw a significant decline of 24% to 28 837 tons. Other products manufacturing fell by 13% to 20 609 tons.

Looking ahead, the historic trend suggests that, over short to medium term, total bread production could remain at levels between 160 and 186 million loaves, all things being equal. Moreover, we anticipate that maize meal production could soon recover to levels around 240 000 tons per month due to domestic demand. Overall, maize meal and bread are staple foods that are largely inelastic.
