Description

We are in a period of relatively high activity in South Africa’s agriculture.



Farmers across the country are tilling the land to mark the start of the 2025-26 summer crop season. We also see some activity in the vegetable fields as farmers prepare for the season ahead. The outlook is positive as we are in a La Niña period.



There is also increased activity in the winter crop-growing regions of the country, with farmers beginning harvest of the 2025-26 crop, which was planted in May 2025. We may also soon see an uptick in the export activity of some fruits.



Overall, the season for all these commodities is looking positive, promising better yields.
