Johann Kotzé of Agri SA shares his thoughts on the South African agricultural landscape and the road ahead:
After my first calendar year at the helm of Agri SA, I can say unequivocally that the passion and ingenuity of South African farmers is the driving force behind our global competitiveness. I have spent time with farmers in every corner of our country and have experienced first-hand the diversity and complexity of our country’s food system. The courage, determination and perseverance of farmers and agribusinesses greeted me everywhere. Still, I’m increasingly worried.
