Op die
Grondhervorming is ‘n prioriteit wat die
landbousektor se volle ondersteuning het.
Die sukses van grondhervorming moet egter
gemeet word aan die mate waartoe nuwe
toetreders ‘n positiewe bydrae lewer tot
voedselsekerheid, werkskepping en landelike
ontwikkeling. Daarom is die plig van alle rol-
spelers in landbou om te verseker dat nuwe
toetreders tot die sektor bemagtig is met die
regte kennis en vaardighede om ‘n sukses
van hulle boerdery-ondernemings te maak.”

Minister Senzeni Zokwana was die eerste landbouminister sedert 2004 om Graan SA se kongres by te woon – en dit nogal op dieselfde dag as
wat hy verjaar, op 4 Maart. Die enigste LUR vir landbou wat by die kongres te siene was, was Me Manketsi Thlape van die Noordwes Provinsie.
Minister Senzeni Zokwana was the first agriculture minister since 2004 to attend the Grain SA Congress – and on the same day that he
celebrates his birthday, on 4 March. The only MEC for agriculture at the congress was Ms Manketsi Thlape from the Northwest Province.

49%
The Brent crude oil price is 49% lower than this time last
year (13 March 2014). The main contributor to the diesel price
increase is mainly the weak rand. The price of diesel is likely
to be at the same levels as in April 2014 – R11,70 per litre.

11 million tons
The possible level to which the Chinese government might
limit annual grain imports due to massive stocks. Imports of
11 million tons would be 43% below 2014 levels.
