The Agri Handbook 2016/17 edition can be accessed from today

The Agri Handbook is available to the general public, online, as of today. Ninety chapters out of the 180 can be accessed at www.agribook.co.za, or click here.

It is still very much a work-in-progress. More chapters will be added on a weekly basis. Many of these, up-to-date last year, require revision. We will allow a few days to sort out teething problems before alerting the wider agricultural community, inviting it to visit the website which gives an overview of the entire agricultural value chain.

The Agri Handbook for South Africa 2016/17

The first 90 chapters of the 2016/17 Agri Handbook for South Africa will be live on a sister website, to be announced on Monday 11 July. Further chapters will be added on a weekly basis.

The current book, in English or in Afrikaans, can be downloaded free as a pdf (find this option under “Order”). The 2016/17 edition will be different, in that it will be readable as internet site. You will be able to scroll down on “Infrastructure”, for example, and click on “Irrigation” and the chapter will be there, immediately accessible.

We are very excited about this venture, and invite you to visit us on Monday to view it for yourself.

For visitors new to the publication, the Agri Handbook covers the whole agricultural value chain in South Africa. Clicking on “Table of contents” will give you an idea of the range.
