South African banks are not worried about
possible defaults by farmers on loan repayments
as a result of the drought.
At least three of the country’s four biggest banks
said while the effect of the drought could impact
on loan repayments, their books remained healthy
and were diversified enough to allow farmers to
increase gearing levels slightly.
Agri SA has met with the banks to discuss farm-
ers’ loan repayment options with the effect the
drought has on their crops and livestock. Agri SA
executive director, Mr Omri van Zyl, said they
wanted agricultural financiers to assist farmers to
survive the drought through debt consolidation.
‘Scenarios are increasingly pointing to a situation
where significant imports of maize, as staple food
crop, will become necessary, as well as the provi-
sion of fodder for breeding herds of livestock to
be maintained,’ Van Zyl said.
