logboeke byhou, naamlik ‘n dieselstorings- én ‘n
dieselgebruiklogboek. Die dieselgebruiklogboek is
egter onprakties omdat die hoeveelheid diesel in die
voertuigtenk onbekend is wanneer diesel ingegooi word.
Graan SA en Agri SA het aanbeveel dat die storingslogboek
voldoende sal wees om bewys van dieselgebruik te lewer.
DIE LANDBOUMASJINERIEBEDRYF
Die verkope van landboumasjinerie hang van talle faktore
af, waarvan prys die belangrikste is. Die meeste landbou-
masjinerie word ingevoer. Die verswakking van die rand dra
tot hoë pryse vir landboumasjinerie by, en omgekeerd.
PRYSE
Die pryse van landboumasjinerie het gemiddeld met
3,3% gestyg vanaf September 2014 tot September 2015,
en met 4,5% van Oktober 2014 tot Oktober 2015. Die
verswakking van die rand gedurende hierdie periode
het ‘n negatiewe uitwerking op jaar-tot-jaarpryssty-
gings gehad (
Tabel 6
op bl 33). Daar word verwag
dat die mielieprysindeks in die komende seisoen sal
verswak teenoor die prysindeks van trekkers, wat
geweldig gestyg het (
Grafiek 7
).
MIELIEPRYS TEENOOR TREKKER- EN STROPERVERKOPE
Dit lyk asof die mielieprys die vernaamste faktor is wat die
verkope van trekkers en stropers bepaal.

a diesel storage logbook and a diesel usage logbook.
However, the diesel usage logbook is impractical because
the amount of diesel in the vehicle’s tank is unknown when it
is filled with diesel. Grain SA and Agri SA recommended that
the storage logbook would be sufficient to provide proof of
diesel usage.
THE AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY INDUSTRY
Agricultural machinery sales are dependent on many
factors, with price being the most significant one. Most of
the agricultural machines are imported. The weakening of
the rand contributes to high agricultural machinery prices
and vice versa.
PRICES
The prices for agricultural machinery have increased on
average by 3,3% from September 2014 to September 2015
and by 4,5% from October 2014 to October 2015. The
weakening of the rand during this period had a negative
effect on year-on-year price increases (
Table 6
on p 33).
The maize price index is expected to decrease in the
coming season compared to the price index of tractors,
which increased immensely (
Graph 7
).
MAIZE PRICE VERSUS TRACTOR AND HARVESTER SALES
The maize price seems to be the main factor determining
the sales of tractors and combine harvesters.
Graph 8
shows
die sterk korrelasie tussen trekkerverkope en die mielieprys.
Trekkerverkope was laer gedurende 2014 toe die mielieprys
sywaarts beweeg het.
Stroperverkope toon ook ‘n positiewe verwantskap met
die gemiddelde jaarlikse mielieprys (
Grafiek 9
). Die styging
in stroper- en trekkerverkope kan ook aan tegnologiese
vordering toegeskryf word, want produsente gradeer
steeds hulle toerusting op.
TREKKERVERKOPE
Grafiek 10
verteenwoordig wat tans in die Suid-Afrikaanse
the strong correlation between tractor sales and the maize
price. Tractor sales were lower during 2014 when the maize
price moved sideways.
Harvester sales also show a positive relationship to the
average annual maize price (
Graph 9
). The increase
in harvester and tractor sales can also be attributed
to technological advances, as producers continue to
upgrade their equipment.
