The central issue in South Africa’s agriculture this week is the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease and its impact on the beef industry. There are also other biosecurity issues worldwide, such as the avian influenza outbreak in Brazil, which led to South Africa temporarily suspending poultry imports from that region. I discuss these and other issues in this week’s “AgriView with Wandile“. Here are the key topics we cover.
— Why can rice get you fired from your job?
— Biosecurity (animal and plant health) issues in South Africa
— Zambia’s excellent grain harvest
— South Africa’s Big, Beautiful Grain Harvest
