Transnet’s rail revamp to cut costs for farmers

29 May 2012
Transnet’s plan to restore agricultural rail networks will cut transport costs for growers and help lower food prices, according to Grain SA, which represents commercial farmers. “We will be over the moon if they can get the tonnages moved by rail to increase,” Grain SA chief executive Jannie de Villiers said last week. “The moment you increase rail potential, it will bring down the average cost of transporting grain in this country. This is also good news for farmers.”
