The news this evening is that wheat prices in South Africa are at their highest since 2008, a result of the Ukraine crisis. Role players here have argued for years that the State should do more to encourage the local industry (the import tariff is way below what is allowed under WTO regulations).
Read about the wheat industry in South Africa (and globally) in the wheat chapter of The Agri Handbook.
This was the initial blog of The Agri Handbook, South Africa's biennial reference book for the agri-food industry where you will find points of reference for all subsectors which make up the agricultural value chain. Whether you are a new farmer looking at your options or an old hand wanting to diversify your operations but wondering where to start, you will find value here. Visitors are invited to also look at https://agribook.co.za/ where the latest chapters may be read.
