Weeklikse Afrikaanse Landbou Nuusoorsig - Die Afrikaanse/Engelse Nuus is die afgelope paar dae op AGRI NEWS NET geplaas, saam met nog ander artikels. 

South Africa’s agricultural sector has seen several major developments. The Pretoria High Court ruled that farmers may now purchase approved Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccines and vaccinate their own livestock, provided they follow strict notification and reporting requirements. The state is not obliged to supply vaccines, but farmers can obtain them from authorised suppliers.

At the same time, the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Agriculture has launched a large-scale FMD vaccination campaign using vaccines imported from Türkiye, with more than 11,000 cattle already vaccinated and a total of 560,000 doses allocated across affected areas.

Meanwhile, economic concerns remain high. Political analyst Frans Cronje warned that South Africa could face severe currency weakness if future political developments lead to policies that undermine investor confidence and economic growth.

In the grain sector, Grain SA and Sacota have taken legal action over ongoing delays in implementing a revised wheat tariff. Nearly two years after the application was submitted, producers continue to face rising production costs and financial pressure while awaiting a final decision. Together, these developments highlight the growing challenges and opportunities facing South African agriculture, livestock production, and the broader economy.

“Whatever you plant, you will reap.”Farmers are responsible for their country’s food security. They need a Minister of Agriculture and a government that actively supports them. Sometimes it is necessary to bring into the open the things that have been happening in the dark, in order to clear the air and move forward.

South Africa -Weeklikse Landbou Nuusoorsig - Weekly Agriculture News Summary 20th May 2026

 
Global Fertilizer Market Overview (End of May 2026)The fertilizer market remains firm to bullish, driven primarily by ongoing geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East, especially the closure/restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Urea (the most important nitrogen fertilizer) has seen the strongest gains. Prices climbed sharply earlier in the year, reaching above $850/ton in April. By late May, prices have softened slightly in some markets due to seasonal demand slowdown and hopes of a US-Iran deal, but they remain significantly higher than early 2026 levels.
  • DAP/MAP (phosphates) are also firmer, up more than 10% in April, supported by higher sulfur prices and tighter supply.
  • Potash (MOP) is relatively more stable but still higher year-on-year.
Key Driver: The Strait of Hormuz conflict has disrupted a major export route for urea and other fertilizers from the Middle East (which supplies a large portion of global seaborne trade). This has pushed the World Bank’s fertilizer price index to its highest level since late 2022.Outlook
  • The World Bank projects the global fertilizer price index to rise more than 30% in 2026 overall, before easing in 2027 if supplies recover.
  • Risks remain to the upside if the Hormuz situation drags on or energy prices stay high.
  • Summer 2026 may see quieter demand in the Northern Hemisphere, which could provide some short-term price relief.
South Africa, which imports roughly 80% of its fertilizer, is feeling the effects of higher global prices. Input costs for the upcoming 2026/27 summer crop season (starting around October) are expected to be moderately higher than the previous season. Farmers are watching developments in the Middle East closely, as prolonged disruptions could add further pressure.Would you like a more detailed breakdown on specific products (Urea, DAP, etc.) or focus on the Southern African/South African market?

Red meat market -

The South African red meat sector remains firm but is under pressure at the end of May 2026. Beef prices are holding relatively steady despite significant challenges caused by the ongoing Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak, which has led to export losses, local oversupply, and increased biosecurity costs for feedlots. As of mid-May, A2/A3 beef carcasses were trading at R62.38/kg, B2/B3 at R57.69/kg, and C2/C3 at R57.14/kg, with weaner calves around R42.96/kg.In contrast, the sheep market is performing very strongly due to tight supply following recent heavy rains and good grazing conditions. Lamb and mutton prices have surged, with A2/A3 carcasses reaching R108.21/kg — making sheep one of the best-performing categories in red meat currently.The pork market is relatively stable but softer than earlier in the year, with porkers at R36.01/kg and baconers at R36.98/kg. While pork prices remain higher than the previous year, the sector is more stable compared to beef.Overall, strong consumer demand for sheep meat and limited supply are supporting prices, but the sector faces headwinds from FMD restrictions, high input costs, and weak consumer spending power. As a result, red meat — particularly quality lamb and beef — remains expensive, pushing many consumers to trade down to cheaper cuts or chicken.

South Africa is likely to have its largest-ever summer grain and oilseed harvest in the 2025-26 production season. This is due to the expansion of the area under cultivation and the high yields from favourable summer rains. The data released by the Crop Estimates Committee this afternoon places the country’s 2025-26 summer grain and oilseed harvest at 21. 1 million tonnes, up 2% from the previous month, and 3% up year-on-year (y/y). This monthly and yearly improvement in the overall harvest is underpinned by upward revisions to major grains and oilseeds, particularly maize, soybeans, and sunflower seed.

Over 30 civil society organisations under the Stop Financing Factory Farming coalition have called on the African Development Bank (AfDB) to improve transparency, accountability, and environmental and social safeguards in its agricultural financing, particularly under the Feed Africa Strategy

The South African Poultry Association (SAPA) has launched legal proceedings against the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) and Minister Parks Tau in an attempt to scrap the 72,000-tonne annual US bone-in chicken import quota.

South Africa’s agricultural exports got off to a strong start in 2026, reaching US$3.7 billion in the first quarter — an 11% increase from the same period last year. The growth was driven by higher export volumes and improved commodity prices for key products such as grapes, apples, pears, maize, wine, stone fruit, sugar, nuts, avocados, and wool.

The KwaZulu-Natal Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has launched a large-scale vaccination campaign to combat Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) using vaccines manufactured by Dollvet in Türkiye. In the first phase, 11,429 cattle were vaccinated in the Harry Gwala District, targeting the SAT 1, SAT 2, and SAT 3 strains.

In fruit production, choosing the right cultivar and rootstock is one of the most critical long-term decisions a grower makes. Provar plays a vital role by providing independent evaluation of new varieties and rootstocks to help South African growers reduce the high financial risks of planting unsuitable material.
Severe flooding across the Western Cape in May 2026 has been described by many farmers as the worst in a century, with record 24-hour rainfall reported in several areas.

Inskrywings vir TLU SA se Jongboer van die Jaar 2026-kompetisie sluit op 19 Junie, en jong produsente regoor Suid-Afrika word dringend aangemoedig om in te skryf vir een van georganiseerde landbou se mees gesogte erkennings

The global green fertilizer market was valued at USD 2.7 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% to reach USD 4 billion by 2035. Green fertilizers have become a key driver of sustainable and regenerative agriculture, helping farmers reduce chemical usage, improve soil health, enhance crop resilience, and meet stricter environmental and regulatory standards.

Urea is the world’s most widely used nitrogen fertilizer, playing a vital role in boosting crop yields, enhancing agricultural productivity, and supporting global food security. It contains 46% nitrogen, one of the highest concentrations among nitrogen fertilizers, making it highly efficient.

South Africans are facing sharp increases in the cost of living as recent steep fuel price hikes push up expenses for transport, food, and electricity. Petrol rose by R3.27 per litre and diesel by more than R5 per litre this month, following April increases, with inland 93-octane petrol jumping from R20.19 to R23.25 in April — one of the largest monthly rises in decades.

South Africa has become the world’s largest citrus exporter, with companies like the FPT Group playing a critical role through its private port terminals in Durban, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), and Cape Town.

Global rice prices have dropped to their lowest level since 2017, falling 31% so far in 2025, mainly due to higher production and lower import demand worldwide. However, in Bangladesh the situation is the opposite.Despite increased local production, rice prices in the country remain very high and have even risen slightly this year.

South Africa remains Africa’s largest maize producer and one of the world’s top producers, with an annual output of 13–15 million tonnes. Its advanced farming systems and strong agricultural infrastructure keep it dominant on the continent

Kunsmatige intelligensie (KI) kan vars produkte langer vars hou, vermorsing verminder en logistiek verbeter, maar ondernemings wat die tegnologie blindelings gebruik, loop groot regs-, veiligheids- en reputasierisiko’s.

The banana industry continues to face significant headwinds, including rising production and logistics costs, weather disruptions, labor shortages, higher fuel and fertilizer prices, and phytosanitary threats like Fusarium TR4.

South Africa’s livestock industry is currently facing one of its most serious challenges in recent years due to the widespread outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD).

Voorspellings oor die verwagte El Niño-verskynsel in die 2026-’27-somer bring vrae oor die moontlike impak op die Noord-Kaap. Volgens Johan van den Berg, onafhanklike landbouweerkundige, het see-oppervlaktemperature vinnig na El Niño-toestande verskuif en dui alles op ’n moontlike “super”-El Niño vanaf September 2026 tot minstens Februarie 2027.

South Africa’s sugar giant, Tongaat Hulett, has received a vital lifeline as a grower-led consortium called GrowerCo steps in to prevent the company’s liquidation and stabilise its operations.The intervention comes ahead of the company’s postponed liquidation hearing in June.
Our team recently visited a farm where cattle were being vaccinated against Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD). The vaccination process itself was highly efficient and quick.  Although reports emerged a few months ago about vaccine bottles breaking during transportation, loading, and injection, we still find it difficult to believe the breakage rate could be this high.This issue forms part of the broader challenge facing the FMD vaccination campaign. According to Dr Modisane, around 300,000 vaccine doses remain unused, largely due to serious problems including reports of up to 68% of vaccine bottles being broken or leaking, poor reporting of usage by provinces and the private sector, and wastage from partially used bottles.The high rate of broken bottles is clearly contributing to significant vaccine wastage and slowing down the national effort to control the disease. The department is now addressing these issues, particularly the high breakage rate of vaccine bottles.-

Volgens onafhanklike landbouweerkundige Johan van den Berg is daar ’n moontlikheid van reën oor die Kaapprovinsies, Vrystaat en Noordwes in die eerste week van Junie, met koue toestande wat veral oor die suidelike binneland verwag word. Sneeu is moontlik oor hooggeleë areas op 3 en 4 Junie.Ligter reën word oor die suidwestelike Wes-Kaap verwag, met sterker neerslae oor die Suid-Kaap. Verdere reën is ook moontlik van 16 tot 20 Junie oor die sentrale, oostelike en suidelike dele van die land.Koue toestande met redelike swaar ryp word vanaf vroeg Junie verwag, en minimum temperature sal verder daal in Junie en Julie. Van den Berg sê die kans op uitermatig lae temperature en baie laat ryp is egter kleiner vanjaar weens hoë lugvogvlakke.Hoë vogtigheid ná die onlangse reën verhoog ook die risiko vir siektes en plae. Somergraanboere word aangeraai om oeste so gou moontlik in te samel weens die vooruitsig van gereelde winterreën as gevolg van die vinnige ontwikkeling van El Niño-toestande.
