The Money ShowHow much produce is lost to wastage and broken logistics?
Stephen Grootes speaks to Thabile Nkunjana, agricultural economist about the severe knock-on effects that operational failures at the Port of Cape Town are having on South African farmers, with the deciduous fruit industry already shouldering losses of around R350 million this season as delayed exports, container build-ups and costly diversions eat into margins. The disruptions are forcing growers to deal with increased wastage, higher logistics costs and damaged reputations in overseas markets, putting pressure on rural economies and threatening jobs throughout the agricultural value chain.
