This week’s episode of Tech Terrain is not to be missed as Tony Ndoro and his guests discuss the new ‘Data-intensive farm management’ study.
Ndoro talks to Dr Dirk Strydom, manager of Grain Economics and Marketing at Grain SA, Prof Ferdi Meyer, managing director of the Bureau of Food and Agricultural Policy, and Maluta Netshaulu, senior manager of Nedbank Agriculture.
The team discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the landscape, and look at how it has impacted informal traders.
Regardless of the technology at their disposal, all farmers stand to benefit by moving their businesses towards optimal production.
Tech Terrain discusses the importance of understanding your land and the resources at your disposal, and how to use these to your benefit. The guests also discuss the equally important subject of understanding the market and capitalising on opportunities in the value chain.
