Together they take a closer look at the challenges and opportunities facing Western Cape agriculture. From the devastating floods in key farming regions and worsening drought conditions in parts of the Swartland, to the financial pressures facing horticultural producers, the conversation explores how farmers are navigating an increasingly unpredictable operating environment.
Daneel also shares insights into the role of climate-smart, regenerative and conservation agriculture in building greater resilience across the agricultural value chain. The discussion also unpacks the impact of port inefficiencies, infrastructure challenges and rising input costs on the province’s vital export industries, before turning to the outlook for the winter grain crop.
With concerns about wheat production in parts of the Swartland and continued diversification into crops such as canola and barley, the Western Cape remains a critical province to watch. Join Wandile and Daneel for an insightful conversation about resilience, climate change, infrastructure and the future of one of South Africa’s most important agricultural economies.
