South Africa's farming sector in 2026 is experiencing another mixed year, similar to 2025. Horticulture and field crops are performing positively in terms of volume, with ample harvests helping to drive food price inflation down to just 0.6% in July, its lowest level since 2010, which has benefited households.However, the year has brought significant challenges.
Breakeven on a pound of pecans is around $1.55–$1.60. This year, growers were getting about $1.50. The trees produced a crop. The nuts were there, ready to harvest. What failed was the math. At $1.50 a pound, for some growers, the cost of harvesting was higher than what the crop would bring in. So they left it on the ground and collected crop insurance instead.
South Africa has seen some relief from lower inflation, with July inflation falling to 4.3%, which could allow the Reserve Bank to keep interest rates stable, but the economy remains under severe pressure.According to Aluma Capital Chief Economist Frederick Mitchell, monetary relief alone cannot offset deep real-economy headwinds.
The alcohol industry has lost $830 billion in market value as drinking habits shift, particularly among Gen Z.A Bloomberg index of about 50 beer, wine and spirits companies is down 46% since its June 2021 peak. In 2025 only 54% of American adults said they drank alcohol, the lowest Gallup has recorded since 1939, and average consumption fell to 2.8 drinks per week from 3.8 a year earlier.
South Africa has experienced a milder winter than usual so far, apart from occasional cold spells. As a result, veterinarians are reporting more frequent and severe cases of parasites and the diseases they transmit, and they expect higher parasite loads heading into spring.

South Africa’s primary farming sector employs close to a million people, with more than 300,000 additional workers in the related value chains. As the sector expands with technological advances, further job creation is expected.Recent immigration discussions have created the impression that farms are left with unharvested produce because foreign workers have left the country.
More than R600 million could be at stake following the Johannesburg Stock Exchange’s decision on how soybean location differentials are calculated. Grain SA warns that the choice of pricing model raises serious questions about who will ultimately bear the cost of an inefficient system.
The biggest issue with El Niño is its timing, but farmers have become highly adaptable.In the bigger picture of long-term climate change, South Africa will experience more frequent and more extreme conditions, with both El Niño and its wet counterpart La Niña.
Severe weather across South Africa is exposing farmers to growing climate risks. While hail has been the most visible threat, farmers now face a combination of strong winds, heavy rain, flooding and unseasonal patterns, often in the same season, making losses more frequent and complex.
Producers have experienced a drastic rise in input costs over the past few years. While attention often focuses on direct costs such as seed, fertiliser and herbicides, fixed costs have been rising quietly in the background.
Once one of South Africa's most iconic dams, Hartbeespoort is today a stinking, green, toxic mess - and old hands from the Department of Agriculture say they saw it coming 30 years ago.In the 1990s, the dam's water hyacinth problem was kept under control by a proven method: helicopter spraying with Roundup.

Free State Agriculture (Vrystaat Landbou) has expressed concern that renewed political and legislative focus on land reform is creating uncertainty among farmers and investors, especially amid South Africa’s current economic pressures.
Namibië se veebedryf werk aan ’n moontlike oplossing vir beperkings wat verhoed dat vragmotors wat uit Suid-Afrika terugkeer, goedere vervoer, te midde van die voortgesette risiko van bek-en-klouseer (BKS).
The position for beef cattle farmers in South Africa in 2026 and 2027 is better on price but harder on risk.After several difficult years, prices lifted because there are fewer cattle. Herds are smaller here and around the world, so fewer animals are going to slaughter and total meat production is down.
Commercial farming in South Africa is still shaped by the past. Black South Africans are the large majority of the population but most commercial farms are still owned by a small number of white farmers.
Agriculture and agro-processing have strong potential for growth and job creation, and including this sector as a focus area for joint work between business and government is important.Key steps to unlock that potential include releasing state land with secure title, fixing logistics around ports, rail and roads, and opening new markets .Land is central to inclusive growth.
The African Farmers’ Association of South Africa (AFASA) are calling on government to declare the cattle deaths in the Fezile Dabi District Municipality, Free State, a disaster. This after more than 500 cattle died during last week’s inclement weather conditions that were accompanied by heavy rains and snowfall.

El Niño Report – 26 August 2026 Current Status
El Niño conditions are present and continuing to strengthen across the equatorial Pacific. An El Niño Advisory remains in effect from the NOAA Climate Prediction Center.Latest observations (as of mid-to-late August 2026) show significant warming:
- Weekly Niño 3.4 sea surface temperature anomaly around +2.6°C (week centred 19 August).
- Eastern Pacific (Niño 1+2) anomalies exceeding +3.0°C to +4.0°C in places.
- Subsurface temperature anomalies remain strongly positive, supporting further intensification.
Forecasts indicate a high probability of a very strong El Niño during the Northern Hemisphere autumn and winter of 2026–27.
- Greater than 90% chance of a very strong event (Niño 3.4 peak of at least +2.0°C).
- Approximately 69% chance of a historic-strength event during October–December 2026 (exceeding +2.5°C on the three-month relative index, stronger than any event since 1950).
- Peak intensity is most likely between October and December 2026.
- El Niño is expected to persist through at least early spring 2027 (probabilities remain very high into February–April 2027 before declining).
Typical El Niño patterns point to increased risk of drier-than-average conditions and higher temperatures in:
- Southern Africa (critical for the upcoming maize season)
- Parts of Australia (wheat and other crops)
- India and parts of Southeast Asia (monsoon and rice production)
- Central America and the Caribbean
- Northern South America
As of 26 August 2026, the 2026–27 El Niño is firmly established, rapidly intensifying, and on track to become one of the strongest events on record. Agricultural sectors in drought-prone regions are advised to prepare for heightened climate risks during the remainder of 2026 and into 2027.
World Wine News –
Wine News – 26 August 2026
Record-early harvests continue to dominate the northern hemisphere wine season as extreme heat and drought accelerate ripening across major European regions. In France, Champagne began picking around 12–14 August, one of the earliest starts on record, with yields reduced by spring frost and smaller berry sizes from water stress. Burgundy, Bordeaux, Languedoc and other areas have also started weeks ahead of traditional dates. Italian sparkling wine producers in Franciacorta reported similar advances, with some nighttime picking under floodlights to preserve quality.Growers note that while volumes are lower, concentrated flavours may support good quality in some regions. Climate change is widely cited as the driver, with French harvests now occurring on average more than three weeks earlier than in the 1970s.
In the New World, South Africa stood out positively: it was the only major producer among the top six to increase both export volume and value in the first half of 2026. A wooded Pinotage from Wellington Cellar was named the country’s Champion Young Wine of 2026 at the SA Young Wine Show.California continues to face structural oversupply pressures, with vineyard values under strain and ongoing vine removals as the industry adjusts to lower demand. Early harvest activity has also been reported in parts of California and other US regions.English vineyards have benefited from the warm, dry conditions, supporting higher sugar levels and expanded production of still red wines alongside traditional sparkling styles.Overall, the 2026 vintage is shaping up as another climate-driven early year in the north, with reduced volumes in Europe offset in places by potential quality gains, while South African exporters continue to gain ground.
South Africa Weather Forecast & Agricultural Outlook – around 26 August 2026
Short-term Weather (late August 2026)
Most of the interior is experiencing fine, warm to hot and mostly dry conditions. Gauteng and surrounding areas are seeing daytime highs in the mid-to-upper 20s°C, with clear to partly cloudy skies and low rain chances. Morning fog patches are possible in parts of Limpopo, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal and the Highveld.The Western Cape and southern coastal regions remain cooler, with highs around 20–22°C in Cape Town, occasional high cloud, and light southeast winds. Light drizzle is possible along parts of the south and east coasts behind a weak cold front influence. Overall, the immediate period remains largely settled and dry across the main summer-crop areas.Seasonal Context – Developing Strong El Niño
A strengthening El Niño is the dominant climate driver. Current forecasts point to a very strong event peaking in the October–December 2026 period, with high confidence it will persist into early 2027. For South Africa this typically translates into an elevated risk of hotter and drier-than-normal conditions during the core summer rainfall season (especially January–March), particularly over the central and eastern summer-crop regions.Early spring (August–October) still offers a mixed signal, with some models showing limited windows of near- or above-normal rainfall in northern and eastern areas before the drier signal strengthens later in the season.Agricultural Outlook
Late August 2026 is delivering typical late-winter/early-spring warmth and dryness across much of the country. The bigger agricultural story is the developing strong El Niño, which increases the probability of a challenging 2026/27 summer season for rain-fed crops. Farmers are encouraged to monitor updated seasonal forecasts closely, conserve soil moisture where possible, and prepare drought-contingency measures while current conditions remain manageable.

- Winter crops (Western Cape wheat and canola): Many areas have already faced moisture stress after a drier-than-ideal winter in parts of the Swartland and surrounding regions. The current dry, warm spell adds further pressure on grain filling where soil moisture is limited. Yield potential remains highly dependent on any late-season rains.
- Summer crops: Soil moisture and dam levels heading into spring are generally better than in previous severe drought cycles, providing a temporary buffer. However, the strong El Niño raises the risk of reduced rainfall and higher temperatures during the critical planting and growing window of late 2026 into early 2027. Maize and soya bean producers are advised to prioritise water conservation, flexible planting strategies and contingency planning.
- Livestock: Warmer conditions and potential early drying of veld increase the need for careful grazing management and fire risk awareness as temperatures rise.
- Horticulture and irrigated crops: Current dry weather supports orchard and vineyard operations in many areas, but longer-term water availability under El Niño conditions remains a concern for irrigation-dependent enterprises.
Late August 2026 is delivering typical late-winter/early-spring warmth and dryness across much of the country. The bigger agricultural story is the developing strong El Niño, which increases the probability of a challenging 2026/27 summer season for rain-fed crops. Farmers are encouraged to monitor updated seasonal forecasts closely, conserve soil moisture where possible, and prepare drought-contingency measures while current conditions remain manageable.

- Nitrogen products (urea and LAN) showed mixed movement — urea eased following international declines, but both remain substantially higher than a year earlier.
- Phosphates (MAP) rose sharply month-on-month as earlier international strength (supported by high sulphur costs, limited Chinese exports and Middle East supply risks) filtered through to the local market.
- Potash (MOP) declined notably month-on-month on improved international availability but stayed slightly above year-ago levels.
- Overall, local fertiliser prices remained elevated compared with 2025, continuing to pressure input costs ahead of the 2026/27 summer planting season.
