In our market slot for today, we turn our focus to NAMPO Harvest Day 2026, taking place from 12 to 15 May in Bothaville, in South Africa’s Free State Province. This year’s event will be held under the theme “Resilience Through Innovation.”


The annual event brings together farmers, agribusiness leaders and stakeholders to engage on practical solutions that support commercially resilient agricultural systems. The shift in resilience from mere survival to profitability, driven by innovation and better decision‑making, is a significant evolution in the agricultural sector.


For a conversation on this, Brendan Jacobs, Head of Agriculture for Business and Commercial Banking at Standard Bank South Africa, now joins us on the line.
